"Mizolastine, a non-sedating antihistamine, blocks histamine H1-receptors on effector cells of the GI tract, blood vessels and respiratory tract. It also has mast-cell stabilising properties."

"Systemically administered Ketoconazole and Erythromycin, antiarrythmics e.g. Amiodarone moderately increase the plasma concentration of Alergix MR. This could increase the risk of arrythmias. Concurrent use of other potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme e.g. Ciclosporin should be approached with caution. No potentiation of the sedation and the alteration in performance caused by alcohol with Alergix MR has been observed."

"Alergix MR is well tolerated in the recommended doses. The usual side effects are dry mouth, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, raised liver enzymes, hypotension, tachycardia and palpitations. Bronchospasm and aggravation of asthma were reported, but in view of the high frequency of asthma in the treated patient population, a causality relationship remains uncertain."

"The safety of Mizolastine for use in human pregnancy has not been established. The evaluation of experimental animal studies does not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to the development of the embryo or foetus, the course of gestation and peri and post-natal development. Mizolastine should be avoided in pregnancy (particularly the 1 st trimester). Mizolastine is excreted into breast milk, therefore it is not recommended during lactation."

"Patients should be warned that a small number of individuals may experience sedation. It is therefore advisable to determine individual response before driving or performing complicated task."
