Xyzal is a type of medicine which relieves allergy symptoms including runny nose, itchy eyes and nose, watery eyes and sneezing. It can also help with hives and nettle rash.
The treatment is an antiallergic medicine which has levocetirizine as its active ingredient. This is a type of medicine called an antihistamine, which works to prevent allergic reactions. There are two different types of Xyzal, a tablet or oral solution.
Xyzal blocks the action of something called histamine, a natural substance made by your body during allergic reactions. Sometimes this substance is overproduced when you experience allergic reactions, which results in unpleasant symptoms such as itchiness, blocked nose and rashes.
Histamine is typically formed in your body when it detects that there could be something harmful in the environment close to you. Blood vessels begin to expand and your skin turns red, as this chemical scrambles to protect the body.
If you’re allergic to dust, animal hair and pollen, your histamine response is a little more sensitive than usual. The body then mistakes these substances as a threat and you’ll get allergy symptoms.
This is where antihistamines come in. They’re especially helpful if you take them before coming into contact with an allergy trigger, to help minimise the severity of symptoms you may experience.
Xyzal is available as a 2.5mg oral solution and as a 5mg tablet. You take this once daily, usually in the evening.
The tablet can be broken to take a 2.5mg dose when needed. The recommended dose for an adult is 5mg, and this is one tablet or two teaspoons of the oral solution. But you may find that 2.5 mg, once daily in the evening is enough. This is half of a tablet or one teaspoon of the oral solution.
