The duration of taking drops Suprastinex depends on the disease:

Did you know? Taking antihistamines is practically useless if contact with the allergen has already occurred. Antihistamines should accumulate in the body, which is when they help to cope with an allergic reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to begin the course of taking the medication 2-3 weeks before the flowering season.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose can be - drowsiness, anxiety, irritability. If after taking the drug a little time has passed, it is necessary to do a gastric lavage or drink — activated charcoal —.

Interaction with other drugs

Since Levocetirizine does not undergo hepatic metabolism and does not interact with liver enzymes, it does not have competitive drug interactions. This allows you to combine it with antibiotics, antifungal drugs, antiviral and other drugs. During the period of treatment it is recommended to refrain from the use of ethanol.
The degree of absorption of Levocetirizine is not reduced when taken with food, but the rate of absorption decreases.
