Levocetirizina Teva-Ratiopharm (Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride)

Levocetirizine selectively blocks peripheral H1 histamine receptors, preventing histamine from binding and triggering the cascade that causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and nerve activation, thereby reducing allergic inflammation and related symptoms.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition, renal function and other clinical factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.

Levocetirizine is the active R‑enantiomer of cetirizine, offering similar efficacy with a potentially lower incidence of sedation. Compared with first‑generation antihistamines, it has minimal central nervous system penetration, resulting in fewer drowsiness‑related side effects.

Store the tablets at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Do not refrigerate or freeze the product.

The medication is taken orally, usually as a whole tablet with or without food, according to the prescriber’s directions. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.

Serious but rare adverse reactions include anaphylaxis, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and angioedema. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or widespread skin rash.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to levocetirizine or any component of the formulation should avoid the product. Caution is also advised for patients with severe renal impairment, as dose adjustment may be required.
