What is Elina (Mizolastine) used for?

Elina (Mizolastine) is an oral antihistamine prescribed for the treatment of seasonal allergies as well as those caused by allergens such as pet hair, dust mites, or pollen. The medication operates by preventing the action of histamines in the body that cause irritation and swelling in response to allergens. This makes it useful for relieving the symptoms of these conditions such as sneezing, sinus pain, sore throat, coughing, or runny nose. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other similar conditions.

How should I use Elina (Mizolastine)?

Elina (Mizolastine) is normally taken once daily, but your individual directions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, current health, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken with or without food, although a snack or meal is suggested before use if you get an upset stomach. Do not split or chew the tablets prior to use to avoid unintentionally destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct administration.

What are the side effects of Elina (Mizolastine)?

Some patients using Elina (Mizolastine) may experience side effects such as:

Stop using the medication and contact your doctor as soon as possible if any serious or worrying side effects occur such as faintness, chest pain, arrhythmias, depression, anxiety, or signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
