Xevor 5 mg Tablet

Xevor 5 mg Tablet is an antihistamine tablet that contains 5 mg of levocetirizine in each tablet. It is used to help relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching from hives. Xevor 5 mg Tablet belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class, which is designed to reduce allergy symptoms with less sedation than older antihistamines, though drowsiness can still occur. It is commonly used for seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis and for chronic urticaria (hives).

How it works: Levocetirizine blocks histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. By reducing histamine activity in the body, this tablet helps calm itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.

Xevor 5 mg Tablet is the standard tablet strength of levocetirizine and is typically the full adult dose used when a doctor feels this amount is appropriate. Compared with lower-dose forms of levocetirizine, the 5 mg tablet is not a starter-by-default product for everyone, so it is best suited to people whose symptoms and age/medical history have been assessed by a clinician. Some people feel relief within the same day, but drowsiness may be more noticeable in sensitive patients at this strength.
