Pharmacology

A long-acting, non-sedative antagonist of histamine H1 receptors is rupatadine. Furthermore, it combats the platelet-activating factor (PAF). Histamine and PAF both have the ability to constrict the airways, which increases vascular permeability and serves as a mediator of the inflammatory process. Rupatadine also inhibits the release of cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFa), in human mastocytes and monocytes. These additional anti-allergic effects include the prevention of mast cell degranulation caused by immunological and non-immunological stimuli. Ltd.

There is no clinical data available on the exposure of Rupatadine during pregnancy. Pregnant women should therefore not use Rupatadine unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk for the infant. No information is available, on whether Rupatadine is excreted in the mother’s milk. Therefore, it should not be used during lactation, unless the potential benefits for the mother justify the potential risk to the infant.
