Ebast-20 Tablet is used to treat allergic conditions like seasonal allergies/hay fever, allergic rhinitis, perennial allergic rhinitis (stuffy nose) and allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergies). It contains Ebastine, which works by blocking the effect of histamine (chemical messenger), that is responsible for allergic reactions. In some cases, it may cause common side effects such as dry mouth, headache, and drowsiness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
I have recurrent itching and rashes on my body. I get relief for 2-3 days after taking Ebast-20, but the problem returns. My IgE level is 337. What could be the underlying cause, and what precautions or treatment should I follow?

Your symptoms of recurrent itching and rashes that improve temporarily with Ebast-20 suggest a likely allergic condition (such as urticaria/hives), and your raised IgE level (337) supports an underlying tendency toward allergy, which may be triggered by foods, dust, heat, stress, infections, or unknown factors. Since the relief is short-lived, this may be chronic or recurrent urticaria, which often requires longer-duration treatment rather than occasional tablets. You should try to identify and avoid triggers (common ones include seafood, eggs, packaged foods, dust, and tight clothing), keep your skin cool, avoid hot showers, use mild soaps, and apply moisturisers regularly. Instead of taking antihistamines only when symptoms appear, a doctor may advise a daily antihistamine for a few weeks, and in resistant cases, additional medicines may be needed after evaluation. Please avoid self-medicating frequently and consult a physician or dermatologist to rule out other causes and plan proper long-term control.
I have a cold and a cough and have taken Jifon CV and Ebast for 2 days, but the symptoms persist. What can I do?

If your cold and cough have not improved after 2 days on Jifon CV and Ebast, it is better to consult a doctor to get the right treatment. You can continue supportive care like rest, warm fluids, steam inhalation, and light meals.
I suffer from seasonal asthma and need advice on the right treatment. I'm currently using Ebast during the cold season.

For seasonal asthma, Ebast helps with allergy symptoms but does not control asthma itself. The right treatment usually includes as-needed inhalers for sudden symptoms and sometimes preventive inhalers or medicines during the allergy season, as prescribed by your doctor. Avoid triggers like dust, pollen, and smoke, and maintain a clean environment. Regular check-ups with your doctor can help adjust medicines and prevent asthma attacks.
I've developed red spots and rashes with itching after stopping Ebast 20. Should I continue taking it?

If you developed red spots, rashes, and itching after stopping Ebast 20, do not restart it on your own. You should contact your doctor promptly for proper evaluation; your doctor may suggest an alternative medicine or treatment to relieve the rash.
I experience persistent itching, which stops when I take Ebast 20. How can I avoid needing this tablet?
G.santoshini Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
If your itching improves only with Ebast 20, it is important to identify the cause rather than just relying on the tablet long-term. You can try avoiding triggers like certain foods, soaps, detergents, or environmental allergens, keep your skin moisturised, and use gentle, fragrance-free products. Consult a doctor or allergist to find the underlying cause and safer long-term solutions.
