About Maxstine Tablet

Maxstine Tablet is used to treat various kinds of allergic symptoms like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens’. Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

Maxstine Tablet contains bilastine (anti-histamine), which is used to treat allergies. It works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine’, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. In short, it helps to relieve the discomfort and unpleasant symptoms that occur due to allergic conditions, like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes.
