Levocetirizine is a non-drowsy antihistamine used to treat symptoms of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), dust or pet allergies (perennial allergic rhinitis), and chronic hives or nettle rash (urticaria).

Question 4

What is the active ingredient in Levocetirizine?

Accepted Answer

The active substance is Levocetirizine dihydrochloride. It is the R-enantiomer of cetirizine, which allows the medicine to bind more effectively to H1-histamine receptors in the body.

Question 5

How does Levocetirizine work?

Accepted Answer

Levocetirizine blocks H1 receptors, preventing histamine (the chemical released when your immune system encounters an allergen) from triggering an allergic response. This reduces nasal swelling, sneezing, and skin itching.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food. It is best to take your dose at the same time each day, often in the evening if you find it causes mild relaxation.

What is the correct dosage for Levocetirizine?

Accepted Answer

The standard dosage for adults and children aged 12 years and older is one 5mg tablet taken once daily. Patients with kidney issues may require a reduced dosage.

Question 9

Can I drive while taking Levocetirizine?

Accepted Answer

Most people do not feel drowsy after taking Levocetirizine. However, you should wait to see how the medication affects you before driving. If you feel sleepy or less alert, do not drive.
