Description

Medlur 5 mg is an antihistamine medication containing levocetirizine, commonly used to manage allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria (hives). It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical in the body responsible for allergy symptoms, thereby providing relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itching, watery eyes, and skin rashes. The medicine is typically taken once daily, often in the evening, and the dosage is determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition. It is generally well tolerated, although some individuals may experience mild side effects such as drowsiness, fatigue, dry mouth, or headache. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol and activities requiring alertness, such as driving, if they feel drowsy after taking the medication. It should be used under medical guidance, especially in patients with kidney problems or other underlying health conditions.
