Acitrin-L Oral Solution 2.5 mg/5 ml contains Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride, a third-generation antihistamine formulated for children and adults who prefer liquid medication. It works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors, reducing the effects of histamine that cause allergic symptoms.

This oral solution provides fast, effective, and non-sedating relief from common allergic conditions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and hives, making it suitable for both daytime and nighttime use.
