    Antihistamine (Ebestine) HELP!

    Hi all,

    I am very prone to allergies in air-conditioned buildings.
    So you can imagine that living in Hong Kong means dealing with it 24/7.

    I have difficulty breathing, irritated eyes and am even losing hair (Alopecia Areata).

    I need a very specific antihistamine called Ebestine (also under the name of Kestine).

    Is there anyone that knows if this is available in Hong Kong?

    Kind regards,

    John B.

    Sounds like you need to leave HK for the sake of your health. Taking antihistamine on a continual basis cant be too good for you.

    It's not listed with the Drug Office's database of registered pharmaceutical products, which means it is not available in Hong Kong. Some products are listed but not available, but if it's not even listed then, no.

    I am sorry, it should be Ebastine (with an A).

    @Claire,

    The word "then" in your last sentence gives me a weird feeling. Is that an annoyed tone? Because I am unaware of being impolite here. If not, thanks for your help.

    For your allergic reactions and Alopecia Areata, you may try Vitamin D and Quercetin.
