Product introduction
Levocet M Tablet is prescribed for allergic rhinitis — the sneezing, congestion, and itchy, watery eyes that flare up with seasonal changes, dust, or other airborne triggers. It combines an antihistamine that quickly blocks the itch-and-sneeze response with a second medicine that calms the deeper airway inflammation behind persistent nasal blockage. This combination makes it suited to allergy sufferers who need more than a simple antihistamine to control their symptoms. It is generally used regularly during allergy season rather than only when a flare-up has already started.
Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
