Levocetirizine: Allergy Medication

What is Levocetirizine?

Levocetirizine is a third-generation, non-sedative antihistamine medication that's primarily used to provide relief from various symptoms associated with allergies. It's useful in managing conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and urticaria (hives). In allergic rhinitis, symptoms that levocetirizine alleviates include watery eyes, runny nose, itching of the eyes or nose, and sneezing. For people with chronic urticaria, a condition that results in the formation of itchy, red welts on the skin, levocetirizine helps in reducing the itching and swelling associated with the condition.

How does Levocetirizine work?

Levocetirizine operates by selectively inhibiting histamine receptors, specifically the H1 receptors. Histamine is a naturally occurring chemical in the body that plays a pivotal role in many allergic reactions. It binds to its receptors located in various cells, leading to symptoms of an allergic reaction such as itchiness, redness, swelling, and changes in secretions like a runny nose or watery eyes. By blocking the H1 histamine receptors, levocetirizine prevents histamine from exerting its effects, thus reducing or eliminating the symptoms of the allergic reaction.

Levocetirizine Dsages & Usages

What are the different doses of Levocetirizine?

The usual adult dose of levocetirizine is 5 mg once daily in the evening. For children between six to twelve years, it is typically 5 mg once daily, but some benefit from a 2.5 mg dose. For children six months to five years old, 1.25 mg once daily in the evening is usually the recommended dose. Adjustments might be necessary for those with kidney problems.

Levocetirizine 5 mg

Levocetirizine 5 mg is the standard dose for adults and children above 12 years of age for the treatment of allergic symptoms. Administered once daily, the dose is generally well-tolerated and provides relief from allergies for a full 24-hour period.

Levocetirizine 10 mg

Levocetirizine 10 mg is not a standard dose. Doubling the usual dose potentially increases the risk of side effects such as drowsiness or sedation. Always consult a healthcare provider before increasing the dosage of any medication.

Levocetirizine syrup

Levocetirizine syrup is often given to children for ease of administration. The syrup allows for flexible dosing and is particularly useful for children below the age of six, for whom lower doses are recommended.

Levocetirizine Side Effects

Does levocetirizine cause sleep?

Levocetirizine, like loratadine, is a second-generation antihistamine and is less likely to cause drowsiness compared to first-generation antihistamines. However, a minority of people experience mild drowsiness. It is advisable to be aware of individual reactions to medication, particularly when driving or operating machinery.

Levocetirizine Alternatives

Levocetirizine vs Cetirizine

Levocetirizine and cetirizine are both effective antihistamines. Levocetirizine is the active component of cetirizine. It has been suggested that levocetirizine potentially has a more potent and longer-lasting effect than cetirizine, but the difference is generally not substantial and both drugs are used to effectively treat allergy symptoms.

Are cetirizine and levocetirizine the same?

No, while cetirizine and levocetirizine are related, they are not the same. Cetirizine contains both levocetirizine and an additional component, whereas levocetirizine is the purified active part of cetirizine. Both are used for the relief of allergy symptoms.

Can cetirizine be taken instead of levocetirizine?

Yes, it is possible to take cetirizine instead of levocetirizine, as both are used to alleviate allergy symptoms, depending on a healthcare provider's advice. However, their effects vary from person to person. It is crucial to consult a healthcare provider before switching medications.

Is levocetirizine a strong antihistamine?

Yes, levocetirizine is a potent antihistamine. As the active component of cetirizine, it is known to provide effective relief from allergy symptoms. However, its potency does not translate to increased drowsiness, as it is a second-generation antihistamine.

Is Levocetirizine safe?

However, all medications can potentially have adverse effects and should be taken exactly as prescribed. If you experience any side effects when taking Levocetirizine 200mg then you should contact a doctor immediately.

Trimethoprim is commonly prescribed to treat urinary tract infections, a prevalent health issue affecting the urinary system. This medication is effective against a range of bacterial infections, notably those affecting the urinary and respiratory tracts. Trimethoprim works by targeting and inhibiting a substance called folic acid, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. By disrupting the production of folic acid, Trimethoprim hinders the development of bacteria, thereby helping to clear infections.

While it's primarily known for its effectiveness in treating urinary tract infections, it's also used for certain types of respiratory tract infections. However, like any medication, the safety of Trimethoprim for an individual depends on various factors including their overall health, other medications they may be taking, and their specific medical history. It's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Trimethoprim is a safe and appropriate treatment option.

Are there any foods that should be avoided when taking Levocetirizine?

We recommend you read the patient information leaflet for this product thoroughly before taking the treatment. This is essential to understanding any interactions that can occur and to take the medication safely.

Typically, it is recommended to avoid alcohol while taking the medication or other antibiotics, please consult your doctor for more guidance.

Can I buy Levocetirizine from Boots?

Can I buy Levocetirizine from Superdrug?

If you would like to buy Levocetirizine, you will need to check availability on the Superdrug website.

Can I buy Levocetirizine from Amazon?

How long does Levocetirizine take to work?

The time it takes for a Levocetirizine 200mg to work can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the strength, the individual's age, weight, and overall health, as well as any potential interactions with other medications or substances. Generally, the effects of Levocetirizine may be noticeable within the time frame outlined by the prescribing pharmacist. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare professional, and to consult them if you have any concerns or questions about the medication's efficacy or possible side effects.

How effective is Levocetirizine?

The effectiveness of Levocetirizine 200mg can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the dosage, the condition being treated, the individual's age, weight, and overall health, as well as the presence of any other medications or substances that might interact with it. While some medications may be highly effective for certain individuals and conditions, others might experience a lesser degree of benefit or may require adjustments to the dosage or additional treatments to achieve the desired results.

  1. Read the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL): Every medication comes with a Patient Information Leaflet, which provides essential details about the drug, its uses, and potential side effects.

It's important to understand the possible side effects of a medication and how to manage them. The NHS has a helpful resource on managing medication side effects, while also speaking to a healthcare professional is important in understanding any potential risks of taking Levocetirizine.
  3. Interactions with other medications: Some medications may interact with others, leading to increased side effects or reduced effectiveness. Make sure to inform your healthcare professional about all the medications and supplements you are currently taking. The NHS offers a useful tool for checking potential drug interactions here.

Additional Information on Trimethoprim 200mg

Trimethoprim 200mg, the usual dose, is a potent antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those related to urinary infections such as cystitis. This medication operates by inhibiting the bacterial production of a vital substance, folic acid, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.

While it is highly effective in managing urinary tract infections, it's essential to be aware of certain precautions. Individuals with severe liver problems, or blood disorders, should consult their healthcare provider before using Trimethoprim, as it may not be the safest option for them. Additionally, it's a common misconception that cranberry juice can treat urine infections; however, while it may help alleviate cystitis symptoms by preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls, it should not replace medical treatment with antibiotics like Trimethoprim.

As with any antibiotic, it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to effectively treat bacterial infections and prevent antibiotic resistance.

Should I take Levocetirizine only during hayfever season?

Levocetirizine should be taken either if you have allergy symptoms or if you are anticipating to come in contact with the allergen very shortly. 

Does Levocetirizine cause sleepiness?

Taking Levocetirizine can make you drowsy, so contact your doctor on how best to manage these symptoms or get an alternative anti-histamine.

When should Levocetirizine be taken?

It can be taken at any time of the day. But it is best to keep that time consistent every day.
