L Alerid 5 MG Description

L Alerid Tablet contains Levocetirizine. It is an antiallergic medicine used in allergic conditions such as common cold, allergic rhinitis (running nose), urticaria, insect bite and hives. It is also

useful to treat symptoms such as allergy due to dust, pet allergies and insect bite. Allergic symptoms appear due to the production of a chemical in the body, namely Histamine. L Alerid Tablet works by blocking the actions of Histamine. Do not use it if you are allergic to Levocetirizine. Avoid driving and handling any machinery, as this medicine makes you less alert.
