About this product
Overview
Atiza Syrup 60ml contains Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride as its active ingredient. Levocetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that is used to relieve symptoms associated with allergic conditions such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis), hives (urticaria), and allergic conjunctivitis.
Uses
- Atiza Syrup 60ml is indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and nasal congestion.
- It is also used to alleviate symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) such as itching, swelling, and redness of the skin.
- Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that is involved in allergic reactions.
How It Works
- Levocetirizine blocks the effects of histamine by binding to histamine receptors in the body, thereby preventing the release of allergic response mediators and reducing the symptoms of allergic reactions.
