Frequently asked questions
Is Livcet 5mg Syrup a steroid? What is it used for?
No, Livcet 5mg Syrup is not a steroid. It is an antihistamine medication used to relieve allergy symptoms. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical your body releases during allergic reactions. It relieves runny nose, sneezing, redness, itching and watering of the eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also helps relieve similar symptoms caused due to allergies to substances such as dust mites, animal dander, and mold. Additionally, it is helpful in treating symptoms of hives, including itching and rash.
Does Livcet 5mg Syrup make you tired and drowsy?
Yes, Livcet 5mg Syrup can cause drowsiness or tiredness. If these side effects occur, do not drive or operate machinery until they subside. Always consult your doctor if you experience any persistent or unexpected side effects from the medication.
How long does it take for Livcet 5mg Syrup to work?
Livcet 5mg Syrup starts working within an hour of taking it. However, full benefits may take a little longer to notice.
Can I take Livcet 5mg Syrup and Fexofenadine together?
In some cases, doctors may advise taking two different antihistamines simultaneously, especially for severe itchy rash cases. If you are using Livcet 5mg Syrup during the daytime, your doctor may prescribe another antihistamine to take at night, which can cause drowsiness, particularly if the itch makes it challenging to sleep.
Is it safe to take Livcet 5mg Syrup for a long time?
Livcet 5mg Syrup is safe when taken as prescribed by your doctor. It is unlikely to cause harm if used for an extended period. However, the best course of action is to use Livcet 5mg Syrup only as long as needed.
For how long should I continue Livcet 5mg Syrup?
The duration of medication usage depends on the specific condition being treated. For example, if you are using it for an insect bite, you may need to use it for a day or two. However, for longer-term treatment of chronic allergic rhinitis (inflammation of nose) or chronic urticaria, your doctor may suggest continuing Livcet 5mg Syrup for a longer period.
