✅ Description:

Lecet 5mg Tablet is utilized to alleviate symptoms such as runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, sneezing, and hives that are often associated with year-round or seasonal allergies. This medication functions by blocking histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction, thereby providing relief from allergy symptoms.

Lecet 5mg Tablet is typically taken orally and may be prescribed as part of combination therapy, often alongside other medications. It can be taken with or without food. By inhibiting the release of histamine from body cells, it effectively alleviates allergy symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and itchy or watery eyes.

The appropriate dosage of Lecet 5mg Tablet depends on factors such as age, the severity of the condition, medical history, and individual response. It's crucial to inform your doctor about your medical history and conditions like pregnancy, allergies, enlarged prostate, or kidney disease before taking this medication.

Lecet 5mg Tablet can be taken with or without food, and it's advisable to take it in the evening to reduce daytime drowsiness. Avoid overdosing if you miss a dose, as it may lead to adverse effects. Abruptly discontinuing the medication is not recommended, as it could worsen your symptoms. Taking excessive Lecet 5mg Tablet may result in pronounced drowsiness, so it's important to adhere to your doctor's prescribed dosage.

This medication is known to cause drowsiness, particularly during the initial hours after consumption. Therefore, it's best to refrain from activities such as driving or operating machinery during this period. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can further increase the risk of drowsiness. Please note that the information provided here is based on the medication's active ingredient. Individual uses and effects may vary, so consulting with an Internal Medicine Specialist before using this medication is advisable.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Levocetirizine falls under Pregnancy Category B. There are no satisfactory and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
