Cetcip-L Tablet contains the active ingredient levocetirizine.

Levocetirizine is an antihistamine medication that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical messenger involved in allergic reactions.
By blocking histamine's action, levocetirizine helps relieve allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and rashes.
It specifically targets the histamine H1 receptors in the body.
By blocking these receptors, levocetirizine prevents histamine from causing allergy symptoms.
This mechanism helps reduce symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, redness, itching, and watering of the eyes caused by allergies.
Levocetirizine relieves allergies to substances like dust mites, animal dander, mould, and seasonal allergens.
Levocetirizine's action helps manage allergic rhinitis and urticaria by alleviating the underlying allergic response.
