XEVOR 5MG TAB

About

Xevor 5mg Tab contains Levocetirizine, a third-generation antihistamine that provides effective relief from symptoms associated with various allergic conditions. It works by selectively blocking histamine H1 receptors, thereby preventing the action of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction. This action helps to reduce symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, watery eyes, and skin rashes or hives. Levocetirizine is known for its rapid onset of action and prolonged effect, offering 24-hour relief with a single daily dose. Its low potential for sedation compared to older antihistamines makes it a preferred choice for daily management of chronic allergic conditions, allowing patients to maintain their daily activities without significant drowsiness.

It is particularly useful for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria, providing symptomatic relief and improving quality of life.
