Medical Description
Levocet tablets are an antihistamine medication that helps relieve seasonal allergy symptoms such as allergic rhinitis and urticaria. These symptoms include sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, itching, rashes, hives, and redness. The active ingredient in Levocet tablets is levocetirizine, which works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical produced during allergic reactions that causes these symptoms.
Allergic rhinitis is an allergic response to substances like pollen, dust, or mould. It irritates the nose and throat, causing symptoms such as sneezing and wheezing. Allergic rhinitis is a common condition that affects an individual’s quality of life and, if untreated, may lead to other conditions like asthma, otitis media, and sinusitis.
Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor, including the dose and duration. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Your doctor may advise taking a Levocet tablet at bedtime, as it may cause sleepiness. Medicines such as Teczine 5mg tablet, Levosiz 5mg tablet, Xyzal 5mg tablet, Okacet L tablet, and Levocetrizen 5mg tablet also contain levocetirizine.
