Levocetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions. It provides long-lasting relief (up to 24 hours) and generally causes less drowsiness than older antihistamines, although some people may still feel sleepy.
