Atiza Syrup 60ml

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.

• Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that is involved in allergic reactions.
