Rupatadine is a second-generation antihistamine used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. It works by blocking H1 histamine receptors, reducing allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, and skin rashes.

Rupatadine is administered orally, usually once daily, and has the advantage of a rapid onset of action and long-lasting effects. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, rupatadine has a lower risk of sedation, making it suitable for long-term use.

Common side effects include dry mouth, fatigue, and headache. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or gastrointestinal disturbances may occur. It is important to take it as directed by a physician, especially in patients with liver or kidney conditions.

Rupatadine is an effective and well-tolerated option for managing allergic symptoms, helping to improve patients' quality of life.
