Levoska tablets with Levocetrizine Hydrocholride, for anti-allergy

1. Allergy symptom relief: Levocetirizine helps reduce common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes caused by allergic reactions to substances like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or insect bites.

2. Antihistamine action: It works by blocking the actions of histamine, a chemical released by the body that triggers allergic symptoms. By inhibiting histamine, levocetirizine helps alleviate these symptoms.

3. Non-drowsy formulation: Unlike older antihistamines, levocetirizine is known for causing less drowsiness, making it suitable for people who need to stay alert and productive while managing their allergies.

4. Long-lasting relief: Levocetirizine is typically taken once a day, providing continuous relief from symptoms for a full 24 hours. This convenience allows for better adherence to the treatment regimen.

5. Effective for various allergies: Levocetirizine can help manage allergic rhinitis (hay fever), indoor and outdoor allergies, and allergic skin conditions like hives or chronic urticaria.

6. Well-tolerated: Levocetirizine is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with most side effects, if any, being mild and temporary.

It is important to note that while levocetirizine can effectively manage allergy symptoms, it does not address the underlying cause of allergies. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss appropriate treatment options.
