Levocetirizine Eg (Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride)

Levocetirizine works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors. This prevents histamine from binding to its receptors on blood vessels and sensory nerves, thereby reducing vasodilation, increased permeability, and the itching and swelling that characterize allergic reactions.

The exact dose is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, renal function and clinical response. In many regions an adult dose of 5 mg once daily is common, but the prescriber may adjust the regimen to suit individual needs.

Safety data in pregnancy are limited, and the drug should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus. Levocetirizine is excreted in breast milk in small amounts; nursing mothers should discuss use with their healthcare provider.

Levocetirizine is a second‑generation antihistamine, offering effective H1‑receptor blockade with a lower propensity for sedation compared with first‑generation agents such as diphenhydramine. Its rapid onset and once‑daily dosing make it convenient, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

Store the tablets at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container. Protect them from moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight to maintain potency throughout the shelf life.

Levocetirizine Eg is taken orally, usually as a whole tablet swallowed with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, and the dose is typically administered once daily at the same time each day.

Although rare, serious adverse reactions include angioedema, severe skin rashes such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis, and significant liver enzyme elevations. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience swelling of the face or throat, rash, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Levocetirizine should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its excipients. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment unless dose‑adjusted, and it is not recommended for children below the approved age without specific medical guidance.
