Scientific Evidence

Levocetirizine, the active ingredient in Aleron tablets, is a potent and selective antagonist of the histamine H1 receptor. It effectively blocks the action of histamine, a key mediator in allergic reactions, thereby providing relief from symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of levocetirizine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria. A study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology showed that levocetirizine significantly improved symptoms of allergic rhinitis compared to a placebo, with a rapid onset of action and long-lasting relief.
