Levohistam Oral Drops 20 ml

Levohistam Oral Drops 20 ml

Description:

Levohistam 5 mg/ml Oral Drops 20 ml is an oral antihistamine medicine containing levocetirizine, a third-generation non-sedative H1 receptor antagonist. It is used to relieve and control symptoms of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. The oral drops form allows accurate dosing, especially for children and adults who prefer liquid formulations. Levohistam helps reduce sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin itching or hives caused by histamine release during allergic reactions.

Indications:

• Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy or watery eyes.
• Treatment of perennial (year-round) allergic rhinitis due to dust, pet dander, or other allergens.
• Management of chronic idiopathic urticaria (chronic hives) including itching, redness, and raised skin wheals.
• Relief of other histamine-mediated allergic symptoms as directed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levocetirizine dihydrochloride – 5 mg/ml (active antihistamine ingredient)

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the product label.
• Typical adult and adolescent dose (12 years and above): commonly 5 mg levocetirizine once daily, which corresponds to 1 ml of solution, but always follow your doctor’s specific instructions.
• Pediatric use: Dose for children is weight- and age-dependent. Your pediatrician will determine the appropriate ml dose and frequency. Do not adjust the dose without medical advice.
