LECOPE SYP 30ML

About

LECOPE SYP 30ML contains Levocetirizine, a third-generation antihistamine that selectively blocks H1 receptors. Histamine is a chemical released by the body during allergic reactions, causing symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. By blocking the action of histamine, Levocetirizine effectively alleviates these allergic symptoms. It is known for its rapid onset of action and prolonged effect, providing 24-hour relief with a single daily dose.

Compared to older antihistamines, Levocetirizine has a lower propensity for causing sedation, making it a preferred choice for daily management of chronic allergic conditions without significantly impairing daily activities. The syrup formulation is particularly beneficial for children and adults who prefer liquid medication, ensuring accurate dosing and ease of administration for various allergic manifestations.
