Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that acts on histamine‑mediated allergic conditions. - Allergic rhinitis: reduces sneezing, nasal itching, congestion and rhinorrhea. - Chronic idiopathic urticaria: alleviates hives and associated itching. - Histamine‑mediated allergic symptoms (e.g., conjunctivitis): provides symptomatic relief of itching and watery eyes.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Levocetirizina Activase used for?+
Levocetirizina Activase contains levocetirizine, an antihistamine indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis—including seasonal and perennial forms—as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria, where it helps reduce hives and itching.
How does levocetirizine work in the body?+
Levocetirizine acts as a selective peripheral H1‑receptor antagonist. By blocking histamine from binding to these receptors, it prevents the cascade that leads to vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and nerve stimulation, thereby reducing typical allergic signs such as sneezing, itching, and swelling.
What is the usual dose of Levocetirizina Activase?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, renal function and the specific condition being treated. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Levocetirizina Activase safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.
How do I order Levocetirizina Activase from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Levocetirizina Activase compare with other antihistamines?+
Levocetirizine is the active enantiomer of cetirizine, offering similar efficacy with a potentially lower incidence of sedation. Compared with first‑generation antihistamines, it provides effective symptom control while crossing the blood‑brain barrier to a lesser extent, resulting in fewer central nervous system effects.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Levocetirizina Activase?+
Store the product at temperatures below 25 °C in its original packaging. Protect it from moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight to maintain potency throughout its shelf life.
How is Levocetirizina Activase administered?+
Levocetirizina Activase is taken orally, typically as a tablet swallowed with water. It may be taken with or without food, according to the prescriber’s guidance.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levocetirizina Activase?+
Serious but rare adverse events include angioedema, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis, cardiac arrhythmias, hepatic dysfunction and hematologic abnormalities. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience swelling of the face or throat, rash, or unexplained fatigue.
Who should not use Levocetirizina Activase?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to levocetirizine or any excipients in the formulation should avoid the product. Caution is also advised for patients with severe renal impairment, as dose adjustment may be required, and for those taking medications that significantly increase levocetirizine levels.
