Description

Beceptor 10mg is an oral tablet manufactured by Sami Pharmaceuticals, containing Ebastine as its active ingredient. Supplied as 10 tablets per pack, it is a second-generation, non-sedating antihistamine used to manage a variety of allergic conditions with a favorable tolerability profile for daytime use.

Ingredients

Each film-coated tablet contains 10mg of Ebastine BP, combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the tablet’s formulation and consistent absorption once taken.

Dosage Form

Beceptor is manufactured as a film-coated oral tablet, packaged 10 tablets per box, meant to be swallowed with a glass of water.

Uses

Beceptor 10mg is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, and watery or itchy eyes. It is also used to manage chronic urticaria (hives), helping ease itching, redness, and raised skin welts associated with this condition. Ebastine works by selectively blocking histamine at peripheral receptor sites, targeting the source of allergic symptoms while generally causing less drowsiness than older-generation antihistamines.

How to Use

Take one tablet daily, with or without food, exactly as directed by your physician; note that taking it with food may somewhat increase absorption of its active metabolite, though this does not affect its overall clinical effect. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Because Beceptor typically takes between 1 and 3 hours to reach its full therapeutic effect, it is not suitable for treating sudden, urgent allergic reactions and should instead be used for ongoing or anticipated allergy symptom control.

Side Effects

Commonly reported effects include headache, dry mouth, drowsiness, and mild fatigue in some individuals, along with occasional nausea or abdominal discomfort. Some patients experience dizziness or a general sense of weakness. Less commonly, palpitations, rapid heartbeat, or changes in liver function tests have been reported, and any unusual heartbeat, fainting, or persistent digestive symptoms should be discussed with a doctor promptly. Caution is advised in individuals with a personal or family history of heart rhythm abnormalities.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Beceptor is generally not recommended during pregnancy, as safety data remains limited and it is preferable to avoid use as a precautionary measure. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding, since it is not known whether the medicine passes into breast milk. Anyone who is pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should consult their doctor before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Beceptor tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until needed, and store them safely out of children’s reach. Do not use tablets beyond their expiry date.
