Nocedan (Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride)

Levocetirizine works by selectively blocking peripheral histamine H1 receptors. This antagonism prevents histamine from triggering the cascade that leads to vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and nerve stimulation, thereby alleviating the typical signs of an allergic response.

The appropriate dose of Nocedan is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and renal function. In most adult cases, a single daily dose is common, but exact dosing instructions must be obtained from a qualified prescriber.

Safety data for levocetirizine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity of Nocedan. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Levocetirizine is the active enantiomer of cetirizine, offering similar efficacy with a potentially lower incidence of sedation. Compared with first‑generation antihistamines, it provides more selective H1 blockade and fewer anticholinergic side effects, making it a preferred option for many patients with allergic conditions.

Nocedan tablets should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures.

Nocedan is taken orally, usually as a whole tablet swallowed with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their prescriber to ensure optimal absorption.

Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include angioedema (swelling of the face, lips or throat), severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of these symptoms.

Nocedan should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to levocetirizine or any excipients in the tablet. Caution is also advised for patients with severe renal impairment, and it is not recommended for children below the age specified in the prescribing information without medical guidance.
