Abstract
Antihistamines are the first line agents used for treatment of allergic reactions. Bilastine is a latest non-sedating histamine H1-receptor antagonist developed for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria. Bilastine has a similar efficacy to other second-generation H1-receptor. Bilastine is not metabolized in the human body and does not require dose adjustment in liver and/or kidney disorders. All these features make the drug a good alternative to other antihistamines.
