Frequently asked questions

What is Levocetirizina Fair-Med used for?+
Levocetirizina Fair-Med is an oral antihistamine indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, including seasonal forms, and for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria. It helps reduce nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and the appearance of hives.
How does Levocetirizine work?+
Levocetirizine selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1 receptors on mast cells, basophils and sensory nerves. By preventing histamine binding, it stops the cascade that causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and nerve activation, thereby diminishing the typical signs of an allergic response.
What is the usual dose of Levocetirizina Fair-Med?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, clinical condition, renal function and other individual factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Levocetirizina Fair-Med safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+

Who should not use Levocetirizina Fair-Med?+
