Levocetirizine Tablets for Allergy Relief
What Are Levocetirizine Film-Coated Tablets Used For?
Levocetirizine film-coated tablets are used to relieve symptoms of hay fever and allergies such as hives. You may take this medicine to reduce nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. These tablets effectively alleviate allergy discomfort, making daily life more comfortable for those affected by allergic reactions.
Because these film-coated tablets are smooth and easy to swallow, they are a great option if you usually have trouble with tablets. The coating helps them go down more easily, providing a comfortable experience when taking your medication.
How Levocetirizine Works
Levocetirizine 5mg is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine in your body. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions that leads to symptoms such as itching, swelling, and runny nose. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, Levocetirizine reduces the body’s allergic response and relieves discomfort. It specifically targets H1 receptors, which play a significant role in producing allergy symptoms.
Levocetirizine 5mg Film-Coated Tablets Max Dosage
Adults should take only one 5 mg Levocetirizine tablet per day. This amount effectively controls allergy symptoms for 24 hours. Taking more than the recommended dose won’t improve effectiveness and could cause serious side effects, like extreme drowsiness.
Who Cannot Take Levocetirizine 5mg Tablets?
Adults with severe kidney impairment and those who are allergic to levocetirizine or any other ingredients in the tablet should speak to their doctor before starting Levocetirizine. If you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications that could interact with antihistamines, this is especially important.
Levocetirizine Warnings
Before taking Levocetirizine, you should talk to your doctor if you have kidney problems or epilepsy and to your midwife or doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The medication can cause drowsiness, so activities requiring full alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, should be approached with caution. Additionally, alcohol can exacerbate the drowsiness effect, so it is advisable to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages while taking this medication.
How To Take Levocetirizine Tablets
Levocetirizine tablets should be taken orally, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It is best to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in your bloodstream. If you find it difficult to swallow tablets, consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice on alternative forms of the medication.
Levocetirizine Side Effects
Like all medications, Levocetirizine may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include dry mouth, headache, fatigue, and drowsiness. In rare cases, some individuals may experience severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Common side effects include:
- Drowsiness
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Nausea
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you notice any side effects—especially adverse effects not listed. If you experience severe side effects, stop taking Levocetirizine 5mg Tablets and seek immediate advice from your GP, call 111, or visit A&E. You can report side effects to the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), which helps ensure the medicine’s safety for everyone. Reporting is important to track and manage the medication’s safety.
Levocetirizine Alternatives
Alternatives to Levocetirizine include non-drowsy antihistamines such as Desloratadine and Fexofenadine. These medications can also help alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Depending on your specific symptoms and medical history, your Doctor can recommend the most suitable antihistamine for you.
