What Is Cetcip-L?
Cetcip-L contains levocetirizine — the active R-enantiomer of cetirizine. It is more selective for H1 receptors than cetirizine, with comparable efficacy at half the milligram dose and slightly less sedation. Internationally sold as Xyzal.
How Does Levocetirizine Work?
Levocetirizine selectively binds peripheral H1 histamine receptors with high affinity. Blocking histamine relieves itch, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, hives, and the early-phase allergic response. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, it has minimal CNS penetration, giving negligible sedation at therapeutic doses.

Veelgestelde vragen
Is Cetcip-L the same as Xyzal?
Yes — both contain levocetirizine 5 mg. Xyzal (UCB) is the international brand; Cetcip-L is the Cipla generic.
How is Cetcip-L different from cetirizine?
Cetirizine is the racemic mixture (50:50 R and S isomers). Cetcip-L is just the active R-isomer. Same efficacy at half the milligram dose, slightly less sedation.
How fast does Cetcip-L work?
Onset within 1 hour; full effect within 2–3 hours; duration 24 hours.
Can children take Cetcip-L?
Yes from age 2 in age-appropriate doses (1.25 mg syrup from age 2; 2.5 mg from age 6; 5 mg from age 12).
Is het veilig tijdens de zwangerschap?
Reasonable safety data; loratadine is sometimes preferred for more pregnancy data.
Why evening dosing?
Evening dosing minimises any daytime sedation and matches the early-morning peak of allergic symptoms.
Will Cetcip-L treat my asthma?
No — it relieves rhinitis (sneeze, itch, runny nose) but does not control asthma bronchospasm. Continue your inhalers.
Can I take Cetcip-L every day?
Yes — long-term daily use is acceptable for chronic urticaria and perennial rhinitis. No tolerance develops.
How does Cetcip-L compare to fexofenadine?
Both are non-sedating second-generation antihistamines. Fexofenadine has the lowest drowsiness rate; levocetirizine is slightly more sedating but cheaper. Both equally effective for most allergy symptoms.
