LevoZen

Composition:

• Levocetirizine I.P 2.5 mg

LevoZen Syrup contains Levocetirizine, an antihistamine used to treat allergic symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. It is a third-generation antihistamine that offers effective relief without causing significant drowsiness, making it ideal for both adults and children. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions.
