Rupatadine acts as a long-acting, non-sedative antagonist at histaminergic H1-receptors. Rupatadine also antagonises the platelet-activating factor (PAF). Both histamine and PAF cause bronchoconstriction and lead to an increase in the vascular permeability, acting as mediators in the inflammatory process.
