Bepotastine besilate (bepotastine besylate; TAU-284; TAU284; Bepreve; Talion), the besylate salt of Bepotastine, is a 2nd generation, non-sedating, and selective antagonist of histamine 1 (H1) receptor with a pIC50 of 5.7. Bepostatine besilate has been given approval to treat pruritus, urticaria, and allergic rhinitis. By blocking histamine H1 receptors, antagonistically opposing the vasoconstrictor and, to a lesser degree, the vasodilator effects of histamine, bepotastine besilate inhibits the action of histamine. Mast cell stabilisers work by stopping the regular flow of intracellular signals, which inhibits degranulation and the subsequent release of histamine. Talion is the brand name for bepostatine besilate.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Summary of Use during Lactation There are no reports of infants breastfed during maternal therapy with bepotastine. Because absorption from the eye is limited, bepotastine would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information on bepotastine was not found as of the revision date. In one telephone follow-up study, mothers reported irritability and colicky symptoms in 10% of infants exposed to various antihistamines and drowsiness was reported in 1.6% of infants. None of the reactions required medical attention and none of the patients were using bepotastine. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Antihistamines in relatively high doses given by injection can decrease basal serum prolactin in nonlactating women and in early postpartum women. However, suckling-induced prolactin secretion is not affected by antihistamine pretreatment of postpartum mothers. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed. Low ophthalmic doses of bepotastine are unlikely to have the same effect on serum prolactin. |
