Teczine Tablet contains levocetirizine (10 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

Blocking Histamine: Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine at H1 receptor sites in your body. Histamine is a chemical responsible for causing inflammation, itching, sneezing, and runny nose, among other allergy symptoms during an allergic reaction.
Reducing Symptoms: By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, levocetirizine effectively reduces these symptoms. It does not prevent histamine release from mast cells but stops it from having an effect on its receptors.

Breastfeeding

The medication passes into breast milk and may cause drowsiness and decreased feeding in infants. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.
