About Blexten 20 Tablet

Blexten 20 Tablet 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.

Blexten 20 Tablet 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.
