1-AL 10 Tablet is taken orally.

1-AL 10 Tablet contains levocetirizine (10 mg) with the following actions:

• H1-Receptor Antagonism: Levocetirizine is a potent and selective antagonist of peripheral H1-receptors. This means that it prevents histamine, a chemical messenger that triggers allergic symptoms in the body, from binding to these receptors. The result is temporary relief from the negative symptoms caused by histamine.

• Minimal Central Nervous System Effects: Unlike older antihistamines, levocetirizine does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier due to its selective nature. Therefore, it has significantly fewer effects on the central nervous system.

• Low Affinity for Other Receptors: Levocetirizine has a very low affinity for receptors like cholinergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic, and adrenergic. This property minimises side effects because it does not interact with these other receptors in the body.

• Keep your 1-AL 10 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30 degrees Celsius.

• Make sure it's out of direct sunlight and away from any moisture.

• For safety, always keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• It's important to use this medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're suffering from allergic rhinitis, try to avoid common allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and pollen. Maintaining a clean home environment can help manage your symptoms.

• For those dealing with chronic idiopathic urticaria or hives, wearing loose and breathable clothes can help reduce skin irritation. Avoiding hot baths/showers and spicy food is also beneficial as these can sometimes trigger hives.
