Buy Xyzal

Xyzal is a medicine containing the active ingredient levocetirizine dihydrochloride, an antihistamine. This medicine is used to treat the symptoms of allergic rhinitis or hay fever, as well as nettle rash (urticaria). Levocetirizine is classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine, so it’s less likely to make you feel sleepy than certain other antihistamines.

How levocetirizine relieves allergy symptoms

Xyzal contains 5mg of the active ingredient levocetirizine dihydrochloride, a type of medicine called an antihistamine. Levocetirizine, and other antihistamines, work by blocking the release of histamine, a chemical that is released during an allergic reaction. Blocking this chemical helps to relieve symptoms such as a runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezing.

Directions

Xyzal is a film-coated tablet that should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The recommended dosage for both adults and children aged 6 years and over is one tablet per day. Xyzal can be taken with or without food and you should follow your doctor or  pharmacist’s advice regarding the duration of your treatment.

You should take caution with Xyzal and alcohol – in sensitive patients, taking Xyzal at the same time as alcohol can cause additional reductions in alertness and impairment of performance.
