Alarup Tablet 10 mg contains Rupatadine Fumarate, a second-generation antihistamine used for the effective treatment of allergic conditions. It is commonly prescribed for allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives), helping relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itching, and skin rashes.

Rupatadine not only blocks peripheral H1 histamine receptors but also inhibits platelet-activating factor (PAF), a key mediator involved in allergic and inflammatory responses. This dual mechanism makes Alarup Tablet more effective in controlling both early and late-phase allergic reactions compared to conventional antihistamines.

Alarup Tablet is known for its long-lasting action and minimal sedative effects, allowing patients to carry on with their daily activities without significant drowsiness.
