Drebat 20mg Tablet

Drebat 20mg Tablet contains Ebastine (20mg), a second-generation antihistamine commonly used to treat allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and urticaria (hives). Ebastine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions, which causes symptoms like itching, sneezing, and swelling. Drebat offers relief from allergy symptoms without causing the drowsiness often associated with first-generation antihistamines, making it suitable for daytime use.
