Package contents and additional information

1. What Ebastine Teva Group is and what it is used for

Ebastine belongs to a group of medications called antihistamines (anti-allergics).

This medication is used to relieve nasal symptoms (sneezing, nasal itching, nasal discharge, nasal congestion) and eye symptoms (red and watery eyes) associated with seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, for adults and adolescents over 12 years old, when a dose of 10 mg is not sufficient.

You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 7 days.

2. What you need to know before taking Ebastine Teva Group

Do not take Ebastine Teva Group

if you are allergic to ebastine or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Ebastine Teva Group:

if your electrocardiogram results are altered (prolongation of the QT interval).
if you have high potassium levels in your blood.
if you suffer from severe liver disease (see "How to take Ebastine Teva Group").
if you are being treated with a type of medication used to treat fungal infections called azole antifungals or with medications used to treat certain infections called macrolide antibiotics (see "Taking Ebastine Teva Group with other medications").
if you are being treated with rifampicin, a type of medication used to treat tuberculosis.

Do not use this medication if you have an acute allergic emergency, as ebastine (the active ingredient of this medication) takes 1 to 3 hours to take effect.

If you experience symptoms such as throat tightness, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, or difficulty speaking, wheezing, low blood pressure, repeated vomiting, and/or loss of consciousness, you should seek urgent medical attention due to the risk of anaphylaxis.

Children

Ebastine Teva Group should not be administered to children under 12 years old.

Taking Ebastine Teva Group with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

The medications listed below may interfere with ebastine; in these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or interrupt treatment with one of them:

Ebastine may increase the effect of other medications used to treat allergies (antihistamines).
Ebastine should be used with caution in patients being treated with medications called ketoconazole and itraconazole, used to treat fungal infections, or with an antibiotic used to treat certain infections called erythromycin (as they may cause an alteration in the electrocardiogram).
The antihistamine effect of ebastine may be reduced in patients being treated with a medication called rifampicin, used to treat tuberculosis.

No interactions have been described between ebastine and theophylline, warfarin, cimetidine, diazepam, and alcohol.

Interference with diagnostic tests

Ebastine may interfere with the results of skin allergy tests, so it is recommended not to perform them until 5 to 7 days after treatment has been discontinued.

This medication can be taken with or without food.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Pregnancy
