Levocet 5 MG Description
Levocet tablet is an antiallergic medication that helps relieve seasonal allergy symptoms such as allergic rhinitis and urticaria. This includes sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itching, rashes, hives, and redness. The active ingredient in Levocet tablet 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 allergy-producing substances like pollen, dust or mould.
