About ATA 20MG TABLETS

ATA 20MG TABLETS is used to treat various kinds of allergic symptoms like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements, typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens’. Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some people may be allergic to certain foods, as well as seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

ATA 20MG TABLETS contains bilastine (an antihistamine), which is used to treat allergies. It works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine’, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. In short, it helps alleviate the discomfort and unpleasant symptoms associated with allergic conditions, such as a blocked, runny, or itchy nose, red or watery eyes, and skin rashes.

Take ATA 20MG TABLETS as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take ATA 20MG TABLETS for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, sore throat, nausea, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhoea (in children). Most of these side effects of ATA 20MG TABLETS do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
