ELATA 5 10'S

About

ELATA 5 is a medication typically containing an antihistamine, such as levocetirizine 5mg, which is a potent and selective H1-receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction. Histamine is responsible for many of the symptoms associated with allergies, including itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. By inhibiting histamine's effects, ELATA 5 effectively reduces these uncomfortable symptoms, providing relief for various allergic conditions. As a second-generation antihistamine, it is known for its lower propensity to cause sedation compared to older antihistamines, making it suitable for daily use without significantly impairing alertness.

The active ingredient in ELATA 5 is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with its effects typically observed within an hour. It has a long duration of action, allowing for once-daily dosing, which improves patient compliance. This medication is primarily metabolized in the liver and excreted through the kidneys. Its efficacy and favorable safety profile make it a common choice for managing both seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria. It helps to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from persistent allergic symptoms by providing sustained relief and reducing the impact of allergies on daily activities.
