Uses For levocetirizine

Levocetirizine is an antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever and hives of the skin. It works by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine, which is produced by the body. Histamine can cause itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. It can close up the bronchial tubes (air passages of the lungs) and make breathing difficult. Histamine can also cause some persons to have hives, with severe itching of the skin.

levocetirizine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Before Using levocetirizine

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For levocetirizine, the following should be considered:

Allergies

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to levocetirizine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Pediatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of levocetirizine in children. Safety and efficacy have not been established in infants younger than 6 months old.

Use in children 6 months to 11 years of age with kidney disease is not recommended.

Geriatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of levocetirizine in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving levocetirizine.

Pregnancy Pregnancy Category Explanation All Trimesters B Animal studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus, however, there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but adequate studies in pregnant women have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus. Breast Feeding

There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

Interactions with Medicines

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.

Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol

Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.

Other Medical Problems

The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of levocetirizine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

Kidney disease—Use with caution. Effects of levocetirizine may be increased because of slower removal from the body. Kidney disease, severe or Kidney failure—Should not be used in patients with these conditions. Proper Use of levocetirizine

Take levocetirizine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.

You may take levocetirizine with or without food.

Measure the oral solution with a marked measuring spoon, oral syringe, or medicine cup.

Dosing

The dose of levocetirizine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of levocetirizine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

For oral dosage forms (solution or tablets): For hay fever or hives: Adults and children 12 years of age and older—5 milligrams (mg) or 10 milliliters (mL) once a day in the evening. Your doctor may adjust your dose as needed. Children 6 to 11 years of age—2.5 mg (half tablet) or 5 mL once a day in the evening. Children 6 months to 5 years of age—1.25 mg or 2.5 mL once a day in the evening. Infants up to 6 months old—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor. Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of levocetirizine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.

Storage

Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.

Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.

Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.

Precautions While Using levocetirizine

If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they become worse, check with your doctor.

levocetirizine may cause some people to become dizzy, drowsy, or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to levocetirizine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.

levocetirizine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that make you drowsy or less alert).

Leukotriene modifiers

A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.

Leukotriene modifiers prevent the action of leukotrienes in the body. Leukotrienes are released from mast cells, basophils and eosinophils. The release of leukotrienes causes airway constriction, increased mucus production, swelling and inflammation in the lungs. This presents as wheezing, shortness of breath in asthma.

Leukotriene modifiers include two types of agents:

Leukotriene-receptor antagonists prevent leukotrienes from binding to its receptors

Leukotriene synthesis inhibitors prevent synthesis of leukotrienes by blocking the enzyme, 5-lipoxygenase, which is necessary for the formation of leukotrienes.

Leukotriene modifiers are used to treat and prevent chronic asthma and allergic rhinitis. Generally they are used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids for best results.
