Levocetirizine 5mg tablets are an antihistamine medication used to treat symptoms of various allergic conditions, including hay fever, hives, and reactions to insect bites. It works by blocking histamine, a chemical that causes allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing, and a runny nose.
Key Information
- Uses: Primarily for treating symptoms associated with seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic hives (urticaria).
- Dosage: The typical dose for adults and children 12 years and older is one 5mg tablet once daily, usually in the evening, with or without food.
- Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole; do not chew, crush, or break it unless advised by a doctor to get a smaller dose (e.g., 2.5 mg).
- Common Side Effects: May include sleepiness, tiredness, dry mouth, headache, and sore throat.
- Precautions:
- Driving/Operating Machinery: Exercise caution, as the medication can cause dizziness and sleepiness.

- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, epilepsy (seizures), or difficulty urinating (e.g., due to an enlarged prostate), as dosage adjustments or alternative medications may be necessary.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; the medication is generally considered unsafe during breastfeeding as it may pass into breast milk.
- Allergy Tests: Stop taking levocetirizine at least three days before an allergy skin test, as it can affect the results.
