About the drug:
MBIL 10/20 is a combination of two drugs: Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist) and Bilastine (antihistamine).
Montelukast Sodium is the orally bioavailable monosodium salt of montelukast, a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist with anti-inflammatory and bronchodilating activities. Montelukast selectively and competitively blocks the cysteinyl leukotriene 1 (CysLT1) receptor, preventing binding of the inflammatory mediator leukotriene D4 (LTD4). Inhibition of LTD4 activity results in inhibition of leukotriene-mediated inflammatory events including: migration of eosinophils and neutrophils; adhesion of leukocytes to vascular endothelium, monocyte and neutrophil aggregation; increased airway edema; increased capillary permeability; and bronchoconstriction.
Bilastine
Bilastine is a new oral highly selective H1-receptor antagonist developed for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhino-conjunctivitis and urticaria. It is an antiallergic agent whose main mechanism of action is the inhibition of immune system reactions mediated by the interaction of histamine on its H1- receptor.
