Product Description

Product Name: Citrafast Tablets 5mg 

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 10's 

Manufactured By: Schazoo Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

Levocetirizine is an antihistamine medication primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with:

  • Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial allergies)
  • Chronic urticaria (chronic hives)

It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms, providing relief from symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

  • Drowsiness or fatigue
  • Dry mouth
  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • Fever (especially in children)

Less common, but more severe side effects can include:

  • Severe drowsiness (especially if combined with alcohol or other sedating medications)
  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness)
  • Breathing difficulty (rare)

Precautions:

  • Kidney Function: Levocetirizine is cleared by the kidneys, so it should be used with caution or at adjusted doses if you have kidney problems.
  • Drowsiness: Avoid activities requiring alertness (like driving) until you know how it affects you, especially since it may cause drowsiness in some individuals.
  • Alcohol and Sedatives: Alcohol and sedating medications can increase the drowsiness associated with Levocetirizine.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe, but use only if prescribed by a healthcare provider.
