Indications 

Xyzal Oral Solution is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, and sneezing. It is available as a clear, colorless liquid containing 0.5 mg of levocetirizine dihydrochloride per ml.   

Xyzal works by blocking the effects of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction. Histamine is responsible for causing symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. By blocking these receptors, levocetirizine prevents histamine from binding to them and triggering allergic symptoms.
