Leviva 5mg tablets contain Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride, an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes.
Here’s a quick rundown:
- How it works: Levocetirizine blocks H1 histamine receptors, reducing the effects of histamine—a chemical your body releases during allergic reactions.
- Primary uses: Treats seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives).
- Common side effects: Drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue, and sometimes abdominal discomfort or sore throat.
- Precautions: Use with caution if you have kidney issues, epilepsy, or urinary retention. It may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Pregnancy & lactation: Not recommended during breastfeeding; consult your doctor if pregnant.
It’s typically taken once daily, with or without food. Want to compare it with other antihistamines or explore non-drowsy options? I can help with that too.
