Levocetirizine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of levocetirizine, an active enantiomer of cetirizine. It is a potent third-generation non-sedating antihistamine widely used for the symptomatic relief of allergic conditions. Levocetirizine selectively blocks peripheral H1 receptors and has minimal penetration across the blood-brain barrier, making it less sedative compared to earlier antihistamines.
