Xyzal Information:
Xyzal (generic name: Levocetirizine) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of symptoms of seasonal and all year round allergies. The active ingredient in Xyzal is Levocetirizine. Levocetirizine belongs to the group of drugs called antihistamines and works by reducing the natural chemical histamine in the body, which is responsible for producing symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes and runny or stuffy nose. It is used for adults and children over the age of 6 months old. Hay fever is a season allergy and is a type of allergic rhinitis caused by pollen or spores. Allergic rhinitis is a condition where an allergen (something that causes an allergic reaction) makes the inside of your nose inflamed (swollen). Xyzal is also used to treat itching and swelling caused by chronic urticarial. Urticarial (also known as hives, welts or nettle rash) is a raised, red, itchy rash that appears on the skin. The raised marks in the rash are called weals. Each weal is short-lived, but the rash can move about. The rash normally disappears after a few days, but can sometimes last longer.
Xyzal Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Xyzal including drowsiness, weakness, stuffy nose, sinus pain, sore throat, cough, fatigue, dry mouth and weight gain. More serious side effects may include feeling like you might pass out, nosebleeds, confusion, hallucinations, unusual thoughts, numbness or tingling in the mouth, jaundice, dark colored urine, fever, stomach pain and loss of appetite. If you experience any side effects you must seek immediate medical attention for safety.
Xyzal Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it you, and there will also be dosage and information on the pack. Xyzal comes in tablet form. It is usually to be taken once daily, and may not have a particular dose schedule. It may be prescribed to be taken only when allergy symptoms occur (i.e. during hay fever season). Xyzal should be stored at room temperature away from direct light and heat.
Xyzal Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Xyzal you should not take it, and should inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, including liver or kidney disease, or gallbladder problems. It is very important to also consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications as they may interact with Xyzal, including ritonavir or any other allergy, cough or cold medicines. Although unlikely, you should also inform you doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding as Xyzal may cause harm to your baby. Care should be taken when giving Xyzal to children as an overdose can result in death.
