Blexten (Bilastine) Tablets 20 mg — Tinnitus as a Side Effect?

[nicole m]

Hello all.

Does anyone here have experience with Bilastine tablets? (Blexten / Bilastine tablets 20 mg).

I was prescribed these from my doctor as he says the antihistamine will help with nasal and sinus inflammation. I did my research and there's a 1 in 100 side effect of tinnitus.

I don't want to use it if it will prolong my tinnitus.

Yes. After a particularly sleepless night due to louder-than-normal ringing in my ears, I thought about what could have started this, and I realized it could possibly be my new medication (Blexten 20 mg tablets). A quick online search, and here I am. Now, I have to decide whether I want to be covered in hives 24/7/365 or not be able to sleep restfully.
