TECZINE SYP 60ML

About

TECZINE SYP contains Levocetirizine, a third-generation antihistamine that is a potent and highly selective H1-receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance naturally produced by the body during allergic reactions. By inhibiting histamine's binding to H1 receptors, levocetirizine effectively reduces symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes associated with various allergic conditions.

Levocetirizine is the active enantiomer of cetirizine, offering similar efficacy at half the dose, with a generally lower incidence of sedation. It is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and provides long-lasting relief, making it suitable for once-daily dosing. Its non-sedating profile at recommended doses makes it a preferred choice for managing chronic allergic conditions without significantly impairing daily activities.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of drowsiness and central nervous system depression when taken with levocetirizine.

• Breastfeeding - Levocetirizine is excreted in breast milk. Use with caution, as it may cause drowsiness or other effects in the infant. Consult a healthcare provider.
• Liver - Generally safe in mild to moderate liver impairment. No specific dose adjustment is usually required, but monitor for increased side effects.
• Kidney - Dose adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment, as levocetirizine is primarily excreted unchanged by the kidneys.
