商品概要

Suddenly, raised welts resembling mosquito bites appear on your skin, accompanied by intense itching – this could be hives (urticaria). They typically disappear within a few hours only to reappear elsewhere, and often worsen at night, making them a concerning recurring symptom.

While the cause of many chronic hives is unclear, symptoms can be controlled with antihistamines. There are several types of medication available, varying in side effects like drowsiness, so you can choose one that suits your symptoms and lifestyle.

Mona Clinic offers online consultations for prescriptions, with medication delivered to your home as early as the same day.

Indications

Bilaxten Tablets 20mg (generic name: bilastine)
A second-generation antihistamine. It selectively inhibits histamine H1 receptors and suppresses wheals and itching associated with urticaria. It has low central nervous system penetration, which means fewer central nervous system side effects such as drowsiness. Since it is easily affected by food, it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach (avoiding 1 hour before meals to 2 hours after meals).

FAQs

Does hives go away on their own?

While acute urticaria often resolves naturally within a few days to weeks, chronic urticaria, which lasts for more than six weeks, is primarily managed by controlling itching with antihistamines rather than waiting for it to disappear naturally. If it recurs, early treatment is recommended.

Why do hives appear at night?

At night, the parasympathetic nervous system dominates, making blood vessels in the skin more prone to dilation, and it's a time when histamine, which causes itching, is easily released. If you experience a recurring pattern of itching that appears from evening to night and disappears by morning, it is often a sign of chronic urticaria and requires treatment.

How long should I continue taking the medication?

Even if symptoms disappear, stopping treatment too soon can lead to recurrence, so the general rule is to continue for a while and then gradually reduce the dosage. Your doctor will guide you on when to reduce the dosage or stop based on your progress.

Is urticaria contagious?

Hives themselves are not contagious. However, if hives are triggered by an infection, the original infection may be contagious.

Can I get hives checked out through an online consultation?

Yes, we can. We will ask you about the course of your symptoms and when they appear. If you have a photo of the affected area, we can make a more accurate diagnosis. After the examination, we will prescribe an antihistamine and ship it as early as the same day. If you experience difficulty breathing or swelling of your lips or throat, please seek emergency medical attention immediately instead of an online consultation.
