Levosiz tablet is a medication that contains Levocetirizine (5mg) as its active ingredient. Levocetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that is used to relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes.
Levocetirizine is more effective and safer than some of the first-generation antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine. It causes less drowsiness and other side effects compared to first-generation antihistamines.
Levosiz tablet has a longer duration of action than other antihistamines, meaning it can provide relief for up to 24 hours with a single daily dose. It is specifically beneficial for people with severe allergy symptoms.
Doctors commonly prescribe Levosiz tablet to treat allergic conditions such as seasonal allergies (hay fever), perennial allergies (year-round allergies), allergic rhinitis, and urticaria (hives).
