Use in Pregnancy and Lactation The safety of ebastine during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. Ebastina Stada should not be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known whether ebastine is excreted in milk, therefore, ebastine should not be used during lactation.
Interaction
The interaction of ebastine in combination with either ketoconazole or erythromycin (both known to prolong the QTc interval) has been evaluated. A significant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction has been observed with this combination; an 18-19 msec (4.7% - 5%) increase in QTc has been reported with either combination. Ebastina Stada does not interact with the kinetics of theophylline, warfarin, cimetidine, diazepam or alcohol. The sedation effect of alcohol and diazepam may be enhanced. When ebastine is administered with food, there is a 1.5 to 2.0 fold increase in the plasma levels and the AUC of the main active acid metabolite of ebastine. This increase does not alter the Tmax. The administration of ebastine with food does not cause a modification in its clinical effect.
Food Interaction
