Pharmacology (Source, Chemical and Physical Composition) Of Beponil 10 mg

Antagonistic action on histamine H1 receptor : Beponil 10 mg (Bepotastine Besilate) is a highly selective antagonist of histamine H1 receptor. In vitro receptor binding studies have shown no measurable affinity for 5-HT2, α1, α2 or muscarinic receptors. Orally administered bepotastine besilate inhibited the histamine–induced cutaneous vascular hyperpermeability in rats and guinea pigs. In vitro, bepotastine besilate showed dose-dependent inhibition of histamine-induced contraction of tracheal and ileal smooth muscles isolated from guinea pigs. Inhibitory actions on type I allergic reaction : Orally administered bepotastine besilate inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction in rats and guinea pigs, as well as anaphylactic shock and antigen-induced airway constriction in guinea pigs. Orally administered bepotastine besilate inhibited increase in nasal cavity-resistance in experimental allergic rhinitis model guinea pigs and antigen-induced vascular hyperpermeability in the nasal mucosa in rats. Effects on eosinophils : Orally administered bepotastine besilate inhibited platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced eosinophil infiltration in rats and guinea pigs, and antigen-induced eosinophil infiltration in mice. Orally administered bepotastine besilate inhibited antigen-induced peripheral blood eosinophilia in mice. Effects on cytokine production : In vitro, bepotastine besilate suppressed interleukin-5 production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Dosage And Administration of Beponil 10 mg

Usually, for adults, 10 mg of Beponil 10 mg (Bepotastine Besilate) as a single dose is orally administered twice daily. The dosage may be adjusted depending on the patient’s age and symptoms. Patients with renal impairment : The blood concentration of bepotastine may be increased and remain persistently high. This product should be administered with care such as starting from lower dosage (e.g. 5 mg per dose). Elderly patients : This product is primarily excreted by the kidneys as intact form. Since elderly patients often have reduced renal function, pay appropriate attention to possible persistence of the elevated blood concentration. Pediatric patients : Usually, for children (≥7 years old), 10 mg of bepotastine besilate as a single dose is orally administered twice daily. The safety of bepotastine besilate in children under 7 years of age has not been established (little clinical experience).
