1. What Ibis is and what it is used for
Ibis contains bilastine as the active substance, which is an antihistamine. Ibis is used to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (sneezing, nasal itching, nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and red and itchy eyes) and other forms of allergic rhinitis. It can also be used to treat itchy skin eruptions (hives or urticaria).
Ibis 10 mg orodispersible tablets are indicated in children from 2 to 11 years of age with a minimum body weight of 15 kg.
2. What you need to know before taking Ibis
Do not take Ibis:
- if your child is allergic to bilastine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Ibis if your child has moderate or severe kidney or liver impairment, low blood levels of potassium, magnesium, or calcium, if your child has or has had heart rhythm problems or if their heart rate is very low, if your child is taking medicines that may affect the heart rhythm, if your child has or has had a certain abnormal heart rhythm pattern (known as QTc interval prolongation in the electrocardiogram) that may occur in some types of heart disease, or if your child is taking other medicines (see "Using Ibis with other medicines").
Children

- Ketoconazole (an antifungal medicine)
- Erythromycin (an antibiotic)
- Diltiazem (for treating angina pectoris - chest pain or pressure)
- Ciclosporin (to reduce the activity of the immune system, and thus prevent transplant rejection or reduce disease activity in autoimmune and allergic disorders, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or rheumatoid arthritis)
- Ritonavir (for treating HIV)
- Rifampicin (an antibiotic)
Taking Ibis with food, drinks, and alcohol
These orodispersible tablets should notbe taken with food or withgrapefruit juice or other fruit juices, as this would decrease the effect of bilastine. To avoid this, you can:
- give your child the orodispersible tablet and wait for one hour before your child eats or takes fruit juices, or
- if your child has taken food or fruit juices, wait for two hours before giving the orodispersible tablet.
Bilastine, at the recommended dose in adults (20 mg), does not increase the sleepiness caused by alcohol.
