Pharmacology
Ebastine is a long-acting, selective antihistamine that blocks H1 receptors, and this blocking effect stays steady with continued use rather than wearing off. Taken by mouth, it is absorbed quickly but is broken down substantially before it reaches general circulation, being converted almost entirely into carebastine, the active form responsible for the drug's effect.
