Xyzal 5mg Tablets are a prescription-strength antihistamine designed to provide long-lasting relief from allergic conditions such as hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), year-round allergies, and chronic urticaria. The active ingredient, levocetirizine, is a more potent and refined form of cetirizine, offering enhanced symptom control in a once-daily dose.

How It Works
Levocetirizine is a selective H1 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions that causes symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, and skin irritation. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, Xyzal helps reduce inflammation and allergic symptoms. Relief typically begins within an hour and lasts for 24 hours.

Why Choose Xyzal
Xyzal is ideal for patients seeking effective allergy relief without the sedative side effects associated with older antihistamines. Its refined formulation makes it particularly effective for those who do not respond adequately to standard over-the-counter options. The once-daily dosing makes it convenient and easy to adhere to, and it is suitable for use in chronic allergic conditions under clinical guidance.

Important Note
Xyzal should not be used by individuals with severe kidney impairment unless advised by a doctor. Alcohol may increase the risk of drowsiness. Although considered non-drowsy, users should assess their response before driving. Always follow the instructions of a healthcare professional and do not exceed the recommended dose.
