Levocetirizine (0,5mg/ml) for hayfever

Works very good, greatly reduced my problems with hay fever. Only downside is that I feel really tired, but that's better then running around with snot running down my nose and teary eyes all the time.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for allergy

I'm so tired that i'm constantly falling asleep. I constantly have muscle pains and still have troubles with irritated eyes. On top of all that my vision is blurry and my appetite is vastly increased.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for neurofibromatosis

I've had this condition since I was 18, always having something or other taken out at the hospital. I was looking online to see if there was anything I could do about it and I found an article that I asked the doctor about. And no sooner said than done. It wasn't getting any worse for me, the lumps and bumps were getting less visible. I'm going to carry on taking them because if I don't they ju...

Levocetirizine (5mg) for dust allergy

I can take it when necessary, as long as I don’t take too much. It works within 30 minutes. Quick, effective and easy.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for allergy

After trying all sorts of different antihistamine tablets with middling success (or they made me reeeeally tired) I now take this every day - so as a preventative. Born with various allergies and atopic dermatitis and this medicine seems to be excellent and preventative solution. Including for hayfever, house pets and house mites. I've spoken to plenty of peers who only start taking this once t...

Levocetirizine (5mg) for hayfever

Prescribed by the ent doctor for hayfever. Then it was still xyzal. No problems to start off with but in the meantime I've become incredibly tired. So I stopped taking it and the tiredness went away. Started taking it again and tired again all of a sudden. I now take it before I go to bed and that seems to work better for me.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for allergy

I was prescribed this medicine by a dermatologist. Doctor didn't know what had caused the itchy lumps all over my body. I was tested and it turned out that I had suddenly become allergic to fruit and nuts. I took it as needed. When I felt it starting, I took one pill every 2 or 3 days. Then I could eat everything normally again. Now I'm trying to get pregnant so I've stopped with these and been...

Levocetirizine (5mg) for allergy

I had a ct scan yesterday and the following day a really swollen face and my eyes were almost closed. I probably had an allergic reaction to the liquid that they used for the scan. I'm now taking this medicine and pentisone and I'm going to see if there's any change tomorrow, if it's worked or not.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for allergy

This medicine was prescribed by a GP I don't know. The previous GP prescribed an antihistamine which worked straight away. By the third day of taking this, still no effect?! Well, I feel really tired and bunged up.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for itch

Branded levocetirizine (Sandoz) from the GP for terrible itching all over my body. After I took it, the itch disappeared straight away but in its place I became inexplicably tired. According to the patient information leaflet this can last for a couple of days. Unfortunately it has now been 2 weeks with this terrible exhaustion, my energy dial is well below zero, my legs feel heavy, sore throat...

Levocetirizine (5mg) for hayfever

After trying a number of other medicines for allergies I was finally prescribed this medicine. No heartburn, not sleepy and very effective. My hayfever in combination with asthma is entirely caused by pollen. Rapeseed, birch pollen etc. etc. Really happy with it.

Levocetirizine (5mg) for allergy

Xyzal used to be really good for me and I only had 1 tablet a day. Since October 2014 it's all been a bit up and down, I can't get any rest and I've had a lot of prednisone. kind of works a bit for my eczema might even start taking 4 a day. But I can't get it under control. At the moment my body is reacting to everything ... really suffering with a dry mouth and my sense of taste has totally di...

Levocetirizine (5mg) for itch

I have extremely dry skin particularly in the winter. This helps a bit but the side effects seem to be worse than the problem itself. Fatigue, sometimes short of breath, weight gain and I recognise other side effects from the list too. Unfortunately I haven't found an alternative but at least it takes the edge off the itch.
