Bilagra M Tablet

Bilagra M 20mg/10mg Tablet is a combination therapy often prescribed for allergic rhinitis, commonly referred to as hay fever. It helps ease discomfort caused by sneezing, nasal blockage or discharge, itchy nose, and watery eyes. By addressing these symptoms, the medicine supports easier breathing and improved daily comfort.

How to Take
For best effectiveness, this tablet should be taken once daily on an empty stomach—ideally an hour before eating or at least two hours after. Skipping doses reduces its benefit, and treatment should not be discontinued abruptly without medical guidance. Along with medication, lifestyle steps like reducing exposure to allergens, keeping your home dust-free, and drinking enough fluids may further improve results.

Possible Side Effects
Some individuals may notice mild effects such as headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough, fatigue, fever, drowsiness, or ear infections (otitis media). These usually resolve as the body adjusts. If side effects persist or become troublesome, a doctor should be informed. Avoiding alcohol and ensuring good rest can help reduce drowsiness.

Precautions
This medicine can cause sleepiness or dizziness, so activities that demand full alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before starting treatment. Patients with kidney or liver disorders, asthma, or mental health conditions should inform their doctor to ensure safe use.

Benefits
By combining two active components, the tablet reduces nasal congestion, sneezing, and watery eyes triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust, or seasonal changes. It also decreases inflammation in the airways, which may relieve allergy-related breathing discomfort and reduce asthma symptoms linked with allergies.

How it Works
Bilagra M 20mg/10mg Tablet combines bilastine and montelukast. Bilastine blocks the action of histamine, the chemical responsible for allergic reactions, easing itching, swelling, and rashes. Montelukast prevents leukotriene activity, a substance involved in airway inflammation, helping to control breathing issues and allergy symptoms.

Safety Notes
– The effect of alcohol with this medicine is unclear, so medical advice is recommended before combining.
– Use during pregnancy should only be considered if a doctor determines the benefits outweigh possible risks.
– Caution is advised while breastfeeding; temporary interruption may be suggested until the drug clears from the body.
– People with kidney or liver conditions may need dose adjustments under medical supervision.

Missed Dose
If a dose is forgotten, take it as soon as remembered. If it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Never double up to make up for a missed tablet.
