Allergy medications overview
The arsenal of allergy drugs includes dozens of medications that relieve allergy symptoms when confronted with a trigger known as an allergen.

Xyzal Drug Center
Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Xyzal (levocetirizine dihydrochloride) is an antihistamine indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and children 2 years of age and older. Side effects reported with the administration of Xyzal are usually somnolence, fatigue, and asthenia.
Xyzal is administered orally in the form of tablets or oral solution. Concurrent use of Xyzal with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided because additional reductions in alertness and additional impairment of central nervous system performance may occur. Xyzal should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Our Xzyal Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information as well as related drugs, user reviews, supplements, and diseases and conditions.
