Rupall can cause sleepiness, and some medicines raise its levels. Get urgent care for fainting, a racing heartbeat, or swelling of the lips, tongue or throat.
Choosing the right plan for you
Your clinician decides the dose and how long you take Rupall. Some people need a change if hives continue. The plan depends on your hives, your age and your other medicines.
Considerations include
- How often hives appear and how severe they are
- Antihistamines you already tried
- Your age and overall health
- Other medicines and heart or liver conditions
- How sleepy you feel on the medicine
How Rupall works
Rupall blocks two signals that cause hives and itch
Rupall blocks histamine at its receptor, so hives and itch calm down. It also blocks platelet-activating factor, another signal that can drive swelling in the skin.
It does not cure hives. It works best when you take it on a steady schedule.

Start my assessmentYes, when it is appropriate for you. You complete an assessment, and a Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews it and decides if Rupall suits you.
Rupall blocks histamine and platelet-activating factor, two signals that cause hives, itch and swelling. This calms the skin. It works best when you take it every day.
Some people feel relief within days. Others need a few weeks of steady use. Your clinician reviews your hives and decides if you continue or change your plan.
Many people have fewer hives and less itch. Some need a change or a different medicine if hives continue. Chronic hives often fade over time. Your clinician reviews your control regularly.
Sleepiness, tiredness, headache, dizziness and a dry mouth are the most common. Alcohol can add to the sleepiness. Tell your Care Team about a racing heartbeat, fainting or any new symptom.
People who had an allergic reaction to it should not take it. Tell your clinician about heart rhythm problems, low potassium, and liver or kidney disease. Your clinician decides if it is safe for you.
Your clinician may suggest another antihistamine, such as bilastine. If hives stay active, options include omalizumab, dupilumab or cyclosporine. Hydrocortisone cream can ease itch in some cases. Your clinician picks what fits your hives.
Often yes, but some medicines raise its levels, including grapefruit juice and some antifungal and antibiotic medicines. Tell your Care Team about every medicine and supplement you take. Do not add another antihistamine without asking.
Data is limited, and Rupall is usually not the first choice. Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your clinician may suggest a different antihistamine.
For chronic hives, clinicians usually advise a steady daily schedule. This keeps the medicine working all the time. Your clinician explains what suits you.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
Rupall is the brand name in Canada. Generic rupatadine products have the same active ingredient. Your pharmacist can fill the product that your plan prefers.
Your clinician decides how long you use Rupall and when to renew it. Your Care Team follows up with you, and you can message them with questions. Renewals depend on how well your hives are controlled and on your clinician's review.
Simple pricing for your skin care.
Medication costs are separate. Ask your insurer whether your plan reimburses online consultations.
