Levocetirizine hydrochloride may interact with other medications, herbal supplements, or health conditions. It is important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Levocetirizine hydrochloride if you are taking any other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, or prescription medications. Some potential interactions of Levocetirizine hydrochloride include:
Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants: Levocetirizine hydrochloride may increase the sedative effects of other CNS depressants, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, opioids, or alcohol.
Cimetidine: Cimetidine, a medication used to treat stomach ulcers and reflux, may increase the concentration of Levocetirizine hydrochloride in the blood, which can increase the risk of side effects.
Erythromycin or ketoconazole: Erythromycin or ketoconazole may increase the concentration of Levocetirizine hydrochloride in the blood, which can increase the risk of side effects.
Kidney or liver disease: Levocetirizine hydrochloride is primarily eliminated from the body through the kidneys, so people with kidney disease may need a lower dose of this medication. People with liver disease may also need a lower dose of Levocetirizine hydrochloride, as the liver is responsible for metabolizing the medication.
QT prolonging drugs: Levocetirizine hydrochloride may cause an abnormal heart rhythm known as QT prolongation. Therefore, it should be used with caution in people taking other medications that can cause QT prolongation, such as some antibiotics, antipsychotics, and antidepressants.
