Levocetirizine (5mg)
Active composition
Levocetirizine selectively antagonizes H1 histamine receptors, inhibiting the effects of histamine in allergic responses.
Medical applications
LC 5mg Tablet contains Levocetirizine 5mg, an active antihistamine agent primarily used for the relief of allergy symptoms. Levocetirizine is a selective, third-generation non-sedating H1 receptor antagonist that effectively inhibits the effects of histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic reactions. This medication is indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, including seasonal and perennial forms, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, itching, and hives. LC 5mg Tablet offers rapid onset of action and sustained symptom control with once-daily dosing. It is generally well tolerated with a low incidence of sedation or anticholinergic side effects compared to first-generation antihistamines. The recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years is one tablet (5mg) once daily, with dose adjustments necessary in patients with renal impairment. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to Levocetirizine or any component of the formulation. Caution is advised in patients with severe renal dysfunction.
