• Ketoconazole (an antifungal medication)
• Erythromycin (an antibiotic)
• Diltiazem (to treat angina – chest pain or pressure)

Taking Bilaxten Flas with food, drinks, and alcohol

These buccal dispersible tablets should not be taken with food or with orange juice or other fruit juices, as this would reduce the effect of bilastine. To avoid this, you can:

• administer the buccal dispersible tablet to your child and wait for one hour before your child eats or takes fruit juices, or
• if your child has eaten food or taken fruit juice, wait for two hours before giving your child the buccal dispersible tablet.

Bilastine, at the recommended dose in adults (20 mg), does not increase the drowsiness produced by alcohol.
