How BEPOTASTINE BESILATE Works

This medication works by directly blocking H1-receptors to stop the effects of histamine in the eye. It also prevents mast cells from releasing more histamine into the surrounding tissue. By targeting these pathways, the drug effectively reduces the allergic response and the resulting itch.
