Safely Buy Xyzal ( Levocetirizine ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Xyzal is an antihistamine medication used to treat allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

Levocetirizine is the active enantiomer of the antihistamine cetirizine dihydrochloride that blocks histamine receptors. This mechanism combined with several anti-inflammatory properties allows Xyzal to improve symptoms related to allergies, including skin reactions.

This antihistamine is well-tolerated with high bioavailability and fast onset of action. Xyzal has been found to be a safe and effective treatment for seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria in both children and adults.
