Product Description
Hicet 5mg Tablets 30 Tablets is an effective antihistamine medication containing levocetirizine dihydrochloride, the active enantiomer of cetirizine. It is primarily used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial), such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) with itching and skin rashes. Levocetirizine works by blocking histamine H1 receptors, reducing allergic responses without significantly crossing the blood-brain barrier, resulting in minimal sedation compared to older antihistamines. The tablets are film-coated for easy swallowing and provide 24-hour relief with once-daily dosing.
