Pregnancy Cat

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies on pregnant women. Epinastine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Epinastine is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Epinastine is administered to a nursing mother.

Precautions

Mode Of Action

Epinastine is a topically active antihistamine that antagonizes both histamine H1 and H2 receptors. Moreover, it has mast cell stabilizing activity and prevents the release of inflammatory mediators from the blood vessel. Epinastine does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier and therefore is not expected to induce side effects on the central nervous system.
