Overview
Levocet (Levocetirizine) 0.5mg/ml Syrup is a liquid antihistamine syrup containing levocetirizine 0.5mg/ml, the active R-enantiomer of cetirizine, formulated for easy dosing in children and adults who prefer or need a liquid medicine over tablets. It works by blocking histamine H1-receptors to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, and itchy skin conditions including hives.
Levocet (Levocetirizine) 0.5mg/ml Syrup is available without a prescription in Malaysia for the relief of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria symptoms, but the correct dose should be measured carefully by age and body weight, and a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted for infants, individuals with kidney problems, or if symptoms persist.
How it Works
Levocetirizine selectively and competitively blocks peripheral H1-histamine receptors, preventing histamine from triggering the sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, and skin wheals typical of an allergic reaction, while producing minimal sedation at recommended doses.
Directions for Use
Shake well before use and measure the dose accurately using the syringe or measuring cup provided; give or take the measured dose once daily, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day.
