Scientific Evidence

Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is the active enantiomer of cetirizine, a widely used antihistamine. Studies have shown that levocetirizine exhibits a higher affinity for the H1 receptor compared to cetirizine, resulting in potent antihistaminic effects with a lower incidence of side effects.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of levocetirizine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria, showing significant improvement in symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.
