The functions of Ebastine Tablets include antiallergic effects, relief of skin itching, treatment of allergic rhinitis, antihistaminic effects, and anti-inflammatory effects.

1. Antiallergic effect: Ebastine Tablets can effectively inhibit allergic reactions caused by histamine. As a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, Ebastine Tablets can block the binding of histamine to receptors, thereby alleviating allergic symptoms.

2. Relief of skin itching: Ebastine Tablets can alleviate skin itching caused by allergic diseases such as urticaria, eczema, and dermatitis. It can reduce patients' sensation of itching and improve their quality of life.

3. Treatment of allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis is a type of allergic reaction affecting the nasal mucosa, characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and nasal itching. Ebastine Tablets can relieve these symptoms, improve nasal ventilation, and enhance patients' quality of life.

4. Antihistaminic effect: Ebastine Tablets can counteract the effects of histamine, reducing both the release and activity of histamine, thus alleviating allergic reactions. This helps reduce the frequency and severity of allergic disease episodes.

5. Anti-inflammatory effect: In addition to its antihistaminic effects, Ebastine Tablets also have certain anti-inflammatory properties. They can reduce inflammatory responses in the skin and other tissues and promote the resolution of inflammation.

Before using Ebastine Tablets, consult a physician to determine the appropriate treatment plan based on individual circumstances, and follow the physician's instructions and prescriptions. Use with caution in pregnant women, nursing women, or individuals with abnormal liver or kidney function.
