What does it do?

Epinastine hydrochloride is a second-generation antihistamine used to suppress allergic reactions. It is primarily used to relieve symptoms of allergic diseases such as rhinitis and urticaria. It tends to have fewer drowsiness side effects compared to first-generation antihistamines.

Epinastine hydrochloride binds to histamine receptors in the body, blocking the action of histamine that triggers allergic reactions. This reduces allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose.
