Levocetrizen 10mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Levocetrizen 10mg Tablet is a medicine used to relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, skin rashes, and hives. It helps treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, the common cold, insect bites, and urticaria (skin redness and itching). The medicine contains levocetirizine as its active ingredient, which is known for its antiallergic properties.
Allergic symptoms happen when your body reacts to certain substances like dust, pollen, or pet hair by releasing a chemical called histamine. Levocetrizen 10mg Tablet works by blocking the effects of histamine, helping reduce allergy symptoms and providing relief from discomfort. It does not cure the allergy but helps you manage its symptoms effectively.
You should take Levocetrizen 10mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Do not take more than the recommended dose. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next dose. Avoid using it for longer than advised without consulting your doctor.
This medicine may cause sleepiness or make you feel less alert. It’s best to avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing tasks that require full attention until you know how the medicine affects you. Drinking alcohol can increase drowsiness, so it’s best to avoid it while taking this medicine.
Before starting Levocetrizen 10mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any kidney problems or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, tell your doctor if you are allergic to levocetirizine or similar medicines. When used properly, Levocetrizen 10mg Tablet can effectively relieve allergy symptoms and help you feel more comfortable in your daily activities.
