How Bepozic 10 mg Tablet works

Bepozic Tablet works by blocking a substance called histamine in your body, which is responsible for causing allergy symptoms like itching, redness, sneezing, watery eyes, and swelling. When you come into contact with something you're allergic to (like pollen or dust), your body releases histamine, leading to these uncomfortable reactions. Bepozic Tablet stops histamine from acting on your cells, helping to relieve allergy symptoms and soothe irritation. It’s like putting a shield on your cells to prevent the allergic reaction from happening.

Warnings and precautions

Older antihistamines cause marked drowsiness — do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this affects you. Tell your doctor promptly about any change in mood, sleep, agitation or unusual thoughts while taking montelukast; this is uncommon but recognised. This relieves the symptoms of an allergy; it does not treat the cause, and it is not a treatment for an acute asthma attack. Seek emergency care for swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing.

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. The sedating antihistamines are not suitable for very young children, or for people with glaucoma or an enlarged prostate, without medical advice.

Interactions with other medicines

Alcohol, sleeping tablets and other sedating medicines add to the drowsiness. Tell your doctor about all cold and cough preparations — many already contain an antihistamine.
