Uses of Generic Xyzal (Oriel by Intas)

Levocetirizine HCl is the 3rd generation non-sedative antihistamine following the popular brands Zyrtec® & Reactine®. It is used to treat symptoms of year-round perennial allergies (sneezing, stuffy nose, runny nose and itching of the nose) in adults and children who are at least 6 months old as well as seasonal allergies in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. It is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

The block buster drug Cetirizine sold under the brand names of Zyrtec® & Reactine® reached an all time high sales in 2008 but has since dropped as the 3rd generation composition Levocetirizine is becoming globally known. Levocetirizine is found to be more effective and with less side effects making it the future block buster antihistamine.

It is also used to treat itching and swelling caused by chronic urticaria (hives) in adults and children who are at least 6 months old.

Levocetirizine in Pregnancy and Nursing

Levocetirizine has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category B. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies regarding use of Levocetirizine in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Generic Xyzal should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment with this medicine.
Cetirizine has been reported to be excreted in human breast milk. Because Levocetirizine is also expected to be excreted in human milk, use of Levocetirizine Tablets (Generic Xyzal) in nursing mothers is not recommended. Do not use this medicine without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Levocetirizine and Alcohol

Patients should be advised to avoid concurrent use of Levocetirizine tablets with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants because additional reduction in mental alertness can occur.
