The active ingredient in Foristal Lontabs 2.5 mg Tablet is dimethindene at 2.5 mg per dose:

• H1 Receptor Antagonism: Dimethindene acts as a potent antagonist at H1 histamine receptors located in various parts of your body such as the gut, lungs, blood vessels and skin. By blocking histamine from binding to these receptors, it suppresses histamine-mediated allergic reactions.

• Inflammatory Response Suppression: The competitive blocking action of dimethindene against histamine also leads to a reduction in inflammatory responses like widening of blood vessels (vasodilatation), increased leakage from small blood vessels (capillary permeability), contraction of smooth muscles, and stimulation of sensory nerve endings.

• Mild Sedative Effects: Dimethindene has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which can result in mild sedative effects due to its anticholinergic properties. This can contribute to symptomatic relief during allergic reactions.

Remember, always consult your doctor before starting any medication.
