Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Rupatadine is a second-generation antihistamine, long-acting histamine antagonist, with selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist activity. Some of the metabolites (desloratadine and its hydroxylated metabolites) retain an antihistaminic activity and may partially contribute to the overall efficacy of the drug.
Dose abituale nell'adulto (sintesi del foglio illustrativo)
Adults and adolescents (over 12 years of age): The recommended dose is 10 mg (one tablet) once a day, with or without food.
