Rupatadine is a dual histamine H1 receptor and platelet activating (PAF) receptor antagonist. During allergic response mast cells undergo degranulation, releasing histamine and other substances. Histamine acts on H1 receptors to produce symptoms of nasal blockage, rhinorhea, itching, and swelling. PAF is produced from phospholipids cleaved by phospholipase A2. It acts to produce vascular leakage which contributes to rhinorhea and nasal blockage. By blocking both the H1 receptor and PAF receptor, rupatidine prevents these mediators from exerting their effects and so reduces the severity of allergic symptoms.

Rupatadine is metabolized by oxidation mediated primarily by CYP3A4. CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 are also involved to a lesser extent. The metabolites desloratidine and hydroxylated forms of desloratidine retain some activity as H1 receptor antagonists.

Rupatadine has known human metabolites that include Desloratadine.

Rupatidine is rapidly absorbed with a Tmax of 1 h. Administration with a high fat meal increases exposure by 23% and increases Tmax to 2 h.

The apparent volume of distribution is 9799 L.

Systemic clearance is 1556.2 L/h in young adults and 798.2 L/h in geriatric patients.
