Levocetirizine & Pseudoephedrine

Levocetirizine & Pseudoephedrine is a powerful combination medication used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and the common cold. It combines two active ingredients:

• Levocetirizine: A non-drowsy antihistamine that blocks histamine to relieve sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, and hives.
