Levohistam 5 Mg Syrup 120 ml

Description:

Levohistam 5 mg/10 ml Syrup 120 ml is an oral antihistamine medicine containing levocetirizine, a third-generation non-sedating H1 receptor antagonist. It is used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria, such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes. This syrup form is suitable for adults and children as directed by a physician and provides long-lasting allergy relief with minimal drowsiness when used at recommended doses.

Indications:

• Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itching, and watery eyes.
• Treatment of perennial (year-round) allergic rhinitis caused by dust, pet dander, molds, and other allergens.
• Relief of symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria (chronic hives), including itchy skin and raised red or skin-colored wheals.
• Helps reduce allergy-related nasal and ocular symptoms such as itching, burning, and irritation.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levocetirizine dihydrochloride – 5 mg per 10 ml syrup (concentration based on product name; exact full formulation details are not provided by the source and other excipients are not specified).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the package insert.
• Typical adult dose (18 years and above): 5 mg levocetirizine once daily, which corresponds to 10 ml of syrup, taken preferably in the evening. (Always confirm exact dose with your doctor; dosing may vary.)
• Children’s dose: The dose and suitability depend on age and body weight and must be determined by a pediatrician. Do not give to children without medical advice.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient.
• Measure the dose using a proper measuring spoon or oral syringe; do not use a household teaspoon.
• Can be taken with or without food. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain consistent effect.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny nose, and nasal itching.
• Reduces itching and wheal formation in chronic idiopathic urticaria, improving comfort and quality of life.
• Third-generation, selective H1 antihistamine with low sedative potential at recommended doses, helping maintain daytime alertness in most patients.
