Rupall Information

Rupall (Rupatadine Fumarate) tablets are used in patients 12 years of age and older, to treat the symptoms of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (hay fever, sneezing, runny nose, itching in the eyes and nose); Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (year-round allergies) and Chronic spontaneous urticaria (hives and itching). Rupall is an antihistamine. It blocks the action of histamine and platelet-activating factor (PAF) which are released by the immune system when your body is affected by things you are allergic to. By blocking the action of histamine and platelet-activating factor, Rupall helps relieve your allergy symptoms.
