Manufactured By:

Used For:

  • Levocetirizine is an antihistamine used primarily to treat allergic conditions by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.
  • It is commonly prescribed for:
    • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), including symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
    • Seasonal allergies.
    • Urticaria (hives), which includes itchy skin rashes.
    • It may also be used for other allergic reactions like itching or swelling caused by insect bites or other triggers.

Side Effects:

  • Common Side Effects:
    • Drowsiness (though levocetirizine is considered less sedating compared to older antihistamines).
    • Dry mouth.
    • Headache.
    • Fatigue or dizziness.
    • Nausea or stomach discomfort.
  • Serious Side Effects:
    • Allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing (rare).
    • Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeats (rare).
    • Severe drowsiness or sedation (especially when taken with alcohol or other sedatives).
    • Liver issues, such as jaundice or elevated liver enzymes (very rare).

Precautions:

  • Kidney Disease: Levocetirizine should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, as the drug is excreted by the kidneys. Dosage adjustments may be required for those with renal impairment.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is generally considered safe during pregnancy (Category B) when used as directed, but it's best to consult a healthcare provider. Levocetirizine passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should use caution or consult a doctor before using it.
  • Elderly Patients: Older adults may be more sensitive to the sedative effects of levocetirizine, so caution is advised, especially with activities that require alertness (like driving).
  • Drug Interactions: Levocetirizine can interact with alcohol and other central nervous system depressants, which may increase drowsiness. It’s best to avoid combining it with alcohol or sedatives unless advised by a healthcare provider.
