It blocks histamine H1 receptors in the peripheral tissues that drive allergy symptoms — sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin hives — without crossing the blood-brain barrier meaningfully, so it does not make most people drowsy. Onset: 30–60 minutes; duration: 24 hours. Once-daily dosing. Pure active (R)<\/em>-enantiomer of cetirizine — you get the same receptor binding at half the dose with about half the drowsiness. Evening dosing is standard. Safe for long-term daily use (months to years) in most adults. Common side effects: mild headache, dry mouth, fatigue. Avoid in known hypersensitivity; dose-reduce in significant renal impairment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udce6 \u039a\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c0\u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03a0\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u0395\u03b3\u03b3\u03cd\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u0395\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae\u03c2<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 \u03b5\u03ac\u03bd \u03c4\u03bf \u03b4\u03ad\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03c6\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b5\u03bd\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2 20 \u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03ac\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03c9\u03bd \u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd, \u03c4\u03bf \u03b5\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\u03bc\u03b5.<\/p>\n \u03a4\u03b1 \u03b3\u03b5\u03bd\u03cc\u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c6\u03ac\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03ac \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ad\u03c1\u03c7\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03c2 \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd WHO-GMP \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b1\u03b3\u03ba\u03bf\u03c3\u03bc\u03af\u03c9\u03c2 \u03c3\u03b5 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae, \u03b1\u03c0\u03bb\u03ae \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u2014 \u03c7\u03c9\u03c1\u03af\u03c2 \u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c6\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03ac\u03ba\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03b5\u03be\u03c9\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b4\u03ad\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2. \u039f\u03b9 \u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03c9\u03bc\u03ad\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03ba\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03b1 \u03b4\u03c1\u03bf\u03bc\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bc\u03ad\u03c3\u03c9 \u03c1\u03c5\u03b8\u03bc\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b5\u03be\u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ae (\u03bf\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03ad\u03c2 \u03b5\u03ba\u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03b2\u03ac\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c1\u03c5\u03b8\u03bc\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf \u03b5\u03c0\u03b5\u03be\u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ae \u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03c9\u03bc\u03ce\u03bd \u03bc\u03b5 \u03ba\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03b1 \u2014 \u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03ad \u201cMedsBase\u201d \u03ae \u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03bf\u03b4\u03ae\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b5 \u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c6\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03ac\u03ba\u03bf\u03c5). \u0393\u03af\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u03ad\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03c9\u03bc\u03ad\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03ba\u03c1\u03c5\u03c0\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03af\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03b6\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac SEPA. \u039a\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c0\u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03a0\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u0395\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae\u03c2 \u0395\u03be\u03b1\u03c3\u03c6\u03b1\u03bb\u03af\u03c3\u03b5\u03ce\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2.<\/p>\n Xyzal is an oral antihistamine containing levocetirizine<\/strong> (5 mg), supplied as tablets. Manufactured by UCB Pharma, in packs of 30, 60, 90 or 180 tablets. Originator brand: Xyzal (UCB, 2001 EU \/ 2007 US).<\/p>\n levocetirizine belongs to the second-generation (non-sedating) H1 antihistamine class<\/strong> — developed to keep the allergy-blocking effect of older drugs like diphenhydramine or pheniramine while removing the sedation, dry mouth, and cognitive impairment caused by their passage into the brain. Second-generation agents are the first-line oral antihistamines for allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria in every major allergy guideline (ARIA, EAACI, AAAAI).<\/p>\n It is \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd<\/strong> a treatment for anaphylaxis (use adrenaline\/epinephrine auto-injector), asthma (use inhaled corticosteroid + bronchodilator), or allergic food reactions beyond mild skin symptoms.<\/p>\n When you are exposed to an allergen (pollen, dust, animal dander), mast cells and basophils in the skin and mucosa release histamine<\/strong>. Histamine binds H1 receptors and causes the classic allergy cascade: vasodilation, vascular leakage, itch, sneeze, increased mucus secretion, and smooth-muscle contraction.<\/p>\n levocetirizine is a selective inverse agonist at H1 receptors<\/strong>. It stabilises the receptor in its inactive state, reducing signalling even at baseline histamine levels. Key features of the second-generation class:<\/p>\n \u03a4\u03c5\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b4\u03cc\u03c3\u03b7:<\/strong> 5 mg once daily in the evening. Children 6–11: 2.5 mg once daily. Reduce dose or frequency in renal impairment.<\/p>\n Less sedating than its parent cetirizine at equivalent clinical potency<\/strong> — drowsiness rates in trials are about half those of cetirizine 10 mg.<\/p>\n Common (< 5% in most trials):<\/strong><\/p>\n \u0391\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ae\u03b8\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u0395\u03b3\u03ba\u03c5\u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7:<\/strong> Limited pregnancy-specific data, but as the active enantiomer of cetirizine it is generally considered compatible; cetirizine or loratadine are usually preferred first-line where choice exists.<\/p>\n \u0398\u03b7\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2:<\/strong> second-generation antihistamines pass into breast milk in tiny amounts and are considered compatible with breastfeeding. Loratadine and cetirizine have the most data.<\/p>\n \u03a0\u03b1\u03b9\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac:<\/strong> Approved from age 6 months (syrup) in most markets; 5 mg tablet from age 6.<\/p>\n Store Xyzal below 25°C in a dry place, in the original blister. Keep out of reach of children.<\/p>\n Yes — Xyzal contains the active ingredient levocetirizine. Bioequivalence to the originator brand (Xyzal (UCB, 2001 EU \/ 2007 US)) is required by regulatory authorities, so clinical effect is the same at the same dose.<\/p>\n Cetirizine is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers; only the (R)<\/em>-enantiomer binds the H1 receptor. Levocetirizine is that active enantiomer purified. Clinical effect is very similar, but 5 mg levocetirizine causes less sedation than 10 mg cetirizine. Either works; levocetirizine is a touch cleaner.<\/p>\n Less sedating than its parent cetirizine at equivalent clinical potency<\/strong> — drowsiness rates in trials are about half those of cetirizine 10 mg. If you do feel drowsy, take your dose in the evening, or switch to fexofenadine (the least-sedating 2nd-generation antihistamine).<\/p>\n Yes — long-term daily use of 2nd-generation antihistamines is well-studied and safe for most adults. There is no tachyphylaxis<\/strong> (the effect does not fade), no cumulative organ toxicity, and no withdrawal syndrome. Chronic urticaria patients often take an antihistamine daily for years.<\/p>\n Yes, in most cases. Combining an oral antihistamine with an intranasal corticosteroid (e.g. mometasone, fluticasone) is the standard combination for moderate hay fever<\/strong>. Eye drops (olopatadine, ketotifen) can be added for eye symptoms. Avoid combining two oral antihistamines at the same time without medical advice.<\/p>\n Onset is usually 30–60 minutes, with peak effect at 0.8–1 hour. For seasonal hay fever, starting 1–2 weeks before your usual trigger season gives the best control.<\/p>\n Single-dose overdoses of 2nd-generation antihistamines rarely cause serious harm at a few multiples of the standard dose, but can cause drowsiness, tachycardia, and (rarely) QT prolongation. Seek medical advice if more than 5× the standard dose has been taken, especially in children.<\/p>\n You can order Xyzal (5 mg) from MedsBase in packs of 30, 60, 90 or 180 tablets.
