Rupallerg 10mg, which contains the active ingredient rupatadine, is primarily used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, runny nose, itching in the eyes and nose) and to treat urticaria (hives), including itching and localized skin redness and swelling in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older[1][5][7].
This medication is a second-generation antihistamine that works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 receptors and also exhibits PAF antagonist activity, making it effective for:
- Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial)
- Chronic urticaria (long-lasting hives)
The usual dosage for adults and adolescents 12 years and older is one 10mg tablet taken orally once daily[5][8].
Common side effects reported with Rupallerg (rupatadine) 10mg include:

- Dry mouth
- Fatigue or general weakness
- Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, vomiting, constipation)
- Muscle or joint pain
- Rarely, heart palpitations or allergic reactions such as swelling of the face and throat
Most effects are mild and temporary, but you should seek medical attention if serious symptoms occur[1][2][6].
Do not use Rupallerg 10mg if you are allergic to rupatadine or any of its ingredients. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have liver or kidney impairment, or are taking other medications that could interact with rupatadine[5][7].
