Sumario: | Urticaria is a disabling condition, resulting in an impaired quality of life and sleep disruption, and can have an adverse impact on work-related or school-related performance and attendance. It is defined according to the presence of unknown (chronic spontaneous urticaria) or known (inducible urticaria) eliciting factors. Guidelines recommend second-generation H(1)-antihistamines for the first-line treatment of urticaria. Bilastine is indicated in adults, adolescents (aged ≥12 years) and children (aged ≥2 years (Mexico and some African countries), ≥4 years (Canada) or ≥6 years (Europe)) with a body weight of at least 20 kg for the symptomatic treatment of urticaria and allergic rhino-conjunctivitis. The aim of the Original Real-world cases of Bilastine In Treatment (ORBIT) study was to review real-world cases from across the Asia-Pacific region supported by evidence-based literature. Eight diverse, real-world, difficult-to-treat cases with urticaria in people aged 10–75 years are presented. Once-daily bilastine (20 mg (adults/adolescents) or 10 mg (children)) was found to be well tolerated and effective in the long-term management of chronic spontaneous urticaria and inducible urticaria. |
