It is used to treat symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. It is available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms. Levocetirizine is a popular choice for treating allergies due to its effectiveness and low risk of side effects. It is generally well-tolerated and has fewer sedative effects than other antihistamines. It is also available in combination with other medications, such as decongestants, to provide relief from multiple symptoms. Levocetirizine is marketed by several pharmaceutical companies, including Sanofi, Merck, and Mylan. It is also available in generic forms from various generic drug manufacturers. Show Less Read more
