Alergin-L Tablet contains levocetirizine (5 mg) which performs the following functions:

H1-Receptor Antagonist: Levocetirizine works by blocking histamine, a chemical messenger involved in allergic reactions, from attaching to the H1 receptors in your body. This stops the histamine from causing inflammation and other allergic symptoms.
Reduces Inflammation: By inhibiting the effects of histamine, levocetirizine helps to reduce inflammation in the body, alleviating symptoms such as itching and hives.
Long-Acting: Levocetirizine has a long half-life, which means it continues to work in your body for many hours after taking the dose. This allows for once-daily dosing, making it more convenient for you to manage your allergy symptoms.
