Composition of Okacet Tablet
Okacet Tablet contains Levocetirizine (5mg). It belongs to the Second-generation H1 antihistamine class of medicines.
Uses of Okacet Tablet
- Allergic rhinitis (seasonal
- Perennial) symptoms such as sneezing
- Runny
- Blocked nose
- Itchy
- Watery eyes
- Urticaria (hives)
- Other allergic skin conditions with itching
Benefits of Okacet Tablet
- In Allergic rhinitis
- Okacet blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
- In Hives and skin allergy
- Okacet calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
- In Itching
- Okacet relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
- In Allergic asthma
- Okacet reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.
How Okacet Tablet works
Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that selectively blocks H1 histamine receptors. This reduces allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose and hives with relatively less sedation than older antihistamines.
