The following medications may interfere with ebastine; in these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or discontinue 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 your electrocardiogram).

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