click to open accordion Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to Bilastine, Montelukast or to any ingredient in the formulation or component of the container. A history of QT prolongation and/or torsade de pointes, including congenital long QT syndromes

click to open accordion Warning and Precaution

It has been associated with QTc interval prolongation. Drugs that cause QT/QTc prolongation are suspected of increasing the risk of torsade de pointes. It has not been studied in subjects with hepatic impairment. Since Bilastine is not metabolized and renal clearance is the major route of elimination, hepatic impairment is not expected to increase systemic exposure above the safety margin. Coadministration of Bilastine and P-glycoprotein inhibitors should be avoided in subjects with moderate or severe renal impairment. Patients should be advised never to use oral montelukast to treat acute asthma attacks and to keep their usual appropriate rescue medication for this purpose readily available. Montelukast should not be substituted abruptly for inhaled or oral corticosteroids
