Utilev Syrup is a prescription-strength second-generation non-drowsy antihistamine medication. Each 60ml bottle contains Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (5mg per 5ml).
Administered orally, it is indicated for the symptomatic relief of allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives and itchy skin rash) in adults and children aged 2 years and older.
Levocetirizine is the active $R$-enantiomer of cetirizine, functioning as a selective peripheral $\text{H}_1$-receptor antagonist:
Blocks Histamine $\text{H}_1$ Receptors: Binds selectively to histamine $\text{H}_1$ receptors, blocking endogenous histamine from triggering allergic reactions.
Reduces Allergic Inflammation: Inhibits early- and late-stage allergic responses, clearing nasal congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, and itching.
Low CNS Penetration: Does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier, making it significantly less sedating than first-generation antihistamines.
🚨 Sedation Notice: Although levocetirizine is a second-generation non-drowsy antihistamine, somnolence or fatigue can still occur in sensitive individuals.
Avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing hazardous tasks until you know how the syrup affects you.
🚨 Interaction Warning: Avoid consuming alcohol or central nervous system (CNS) depressants while taking Utilev Syrup, as it can worsen drowsiness and impair motor function.
🚨 Kidney Function Caution: Levocetirizine is cleared primarily by the kidneys.
Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment require modified dosage schedules under direct medical supervision.
Adults and Children 12 Years and Older: Take 5mg (5ml) once daily in the evening.
Children 6 to 11 Years: Take 2.5mg (2.5ml) once daily in the evening.
Children 2 to 5 Years: Take 1.25mg (1.25ml) once daily in the evening.
Measuring Syringe/Cup: Always use an accurate pharmaceutical measuring spoon, cup, or oral syringe to measure liquid doses.
Timing: Can be taken with or without food. Taking it in the evening is often recommended.
Mild somnolence, drowsiness, or fatigue.
Dry mouth.
Headache or mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Dizziness or agitation.
Mild skin rash or abdominal pain.
Is Utilev Syrup suitable for toddlers?
Yes. Utilev Syrup (Levocetirizine 5mg/5ml) is formulated for safe administration in children aged 2 years and older when measured accurately with a precise dosing device.
How is Levocetirizine different from regular Cetirizine?
Levocetirizine is the purified active component ($R$-enantiomer) of cetirizine. It offers high affinity for histamine receptors at a lower dose strength, often causing fewer side effects like drowsiness while providing effective allergy relief.
How should I store this bottle?
Keep the bottle tightly capped inside its original packaging. Store in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct heat, sunlight, and moisture. Keep strictly out of reach of children.
