Chronic urticaria, a heterogenous skin condition can be difficult to treat in many patients. It can adversely affect patient’s quality of life. Bilastine is a useful armamentarium for the management of chronic urticaria. This second generation H1 antihistamine is distinguished from most of its counterparts. Non-sedating potential, fast onset and longer duration of action, less risk of drug interactions and once daily administration make it an attractive option for use. In patients with chronic urticaria, not showing satisfactory response to standard doses, its dose can be increased up to four fold. In this review, we discuss the evidence of higher dose of bilastine in chronic urticaria and its place in therapy.
