Overview: 

Levocetirizine is a medicine that helps ease common allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes. It works by calming the body’s overactive allergic reactions, reducing irritation and swelling. This allows you to feel more comfortable and go about your day without being constantly bothered by allergy symptoms.

How it works:

Levocetirizine works by blocking a chemical in the body called histamine, which is responsible for allergy symptoms like itching, swelling, sneezing, and watery eyes.
