Kestine (Ebastine)

Ebastine works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors. This prevents histamine from triggering the inflammatory cascade that causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and nerve irritation, thereby reducing typical allergy signs such as itching, swelling, and nasal discharge.

The dosage of Kestine is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and overall health. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose without medical guidance.

The safety of ebastine in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Healthcare providers should weigh potential benefits against possible risks before prescribing Kestine to pregnant or nursing mothers.

To request Kestine, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Kestine (ebastine) is a second‑generation H1 antihistamine, offering effective allergy relief with a lower propensity for sedation compared with first‑generation agents. Its once‑daily dosing and selective peripheral action make it a convenient alternative to other second‑generation antihistamines such as cetirizine or loratadine.

Kestine should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the tablets from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain potency throughout the shelf life.

Kestine is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their prescriber.

Serious adverse events, though rare, include angioedema, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, hepatitis, anaphylaxis, and cardiac arrhythmias. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience swelling of the face or throat, widespread rash, or any signs of an allergic emergency.

Kestine should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ebastine or other H1 antihistamines. Caution is also advised for patients with severe liver or kidney impairment, and it is not recommended for use in children under the age specified by the prescriber.
