Suplatast Tosilate: Product Overview
Definition
Suplatast Tosilate is an anti-allergic medication, primarily used to treat allergic diseases by inhibiting the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. It is commonly prescribed to manage conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
Function
Suplatast Tosilate works by targeting the immune system’s response to allergens, reducing the severity of allergic reactions. It blocks the activation of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-5 (IL-5), both key mediators in allergic inflammation, providing relief from symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and wheezing.

· Asthma: Helps control symptoms of bronchial asthma by reducing airway inflammation.
· Atopic Dermatitis: Alleviates itching and skin inflammation associated with this chronic condition.
