Product Introduction

Levoster 5 Tablet is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal or year-round allergies such as hay fever, dust allergies, and pet dander sensitivity. It blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.

How It Works

Levoster 5 Tablet contains Levocetirizine, which works by:

• Blocking H1 receptors to prevent histamine release during allergic reactions

This makes it effective for both respiratory and skin-related allergy symptoms.
