Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride is the active ingredient in this formulation. It is the levorotatory (Levo) isomer of cetirizine. Levocetirizine is a newer, highly effective, and well-tolerated nonsedating antihistamine with potent antiallergic properties. It has a twofold higher affinity for H1 receptors compared to cetirizine. Levocetirizine exhibits both rapid and long-acting action, allowing for once-daily administration.
Levocetirizine selectively competes with histamine for H1-receptor sites on effector cells in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract. By binding to these receptors, it helps to prevent or alleviate allergic reactions, including allergic rhinitis (hay fever), urticaria (hives), and other allergy-related symptoms.
It's important to take Alcet Oral Solution as prescribed by your physician. You can take it with or without meals, and remember to shake the syrup well before use. The correct dose and duration of therapy will be determined by your doctor based on factors such as your age, body weight, and the specific condition being treated. It's crucial to continue taking the medication for the prescribed duration to achieve optimal results.

Levocetirizine is classified as Pregnancy Category B, which means that there are no well-controlled studies on pregnant women. Animal studies may not always accurately predict human response. Therefore, Levocetirizine should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks and only if clearly necessary.
Levocetirizine is excreted in breast milk, so it is not recommended for use by nursing mothers. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to weigh the potential risks and benefits.
