Cetzime 5 mg Tablet

Cetzime 5 mg Tablet is an oral allergy medicine that contains 5 mg of levocetirizine in each tablet. It belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class and is used to help relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching from hives. Cetzime 5 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is commonly used for seasonal allergies, year-round allergies, and urticaria (hives).

How it works: Levocetirizine blocks histamine, a natural substance your body releases during an allergic reaction. By reducing histamine’s effects, this tablet helps calm sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and other allergy symptoms.

Cetzime 5 mg Tablet provides the standard adult tablet strength of levocetirizine, so it is a practical option when a doctor wants a full tablet dose rather than a lower-strength or liquid form. Compared with lower-strength levocetirizine products, this 5 mg tablet is typically chosen for patients who need the usual once-daily dose and can swallow a tablet comfortably.
