For children with renal insufficiency, the dose is adjusted taking into account body weight and QC.

In hepatic renal failure, Glenzet is prescribed in doses as for patients with impaired renal function.

The duration of treatment for seasonal allergic rhinitis depends on the symptoms. The drug can be stopped after the symptoms disappear and resumed when they appear.

With year-round allergic rhinitis, the drug can be taken during the entire period of exposure to allergens.

The duration of hay fever therapy is established by the doctor. Depending on the clinical picture, it ranges from 1 to 6 weeks.

For chronic diseases (including chronic idiopathic urticaria), the course of treatment may be longer. The duration is agreed with the doctor.

special instructions

Seasonal allergic rhinitis is defined as a condition in which symptoms occur less than 4 days a week and last for no more than 4 weeks in total.

Year-round allergic rhinitis is considered to be a disease in which symptoms occur more than 4 days a week, and their total duration exceeds 4 weeks.

There is clinical experience of continuous use of levocetirizine for the treatment of adult patients for 6 months. There is no information on the safety of longer therapy.

During treatment, you should refrain from drinking alcohol. It is recommended to avoid potentially dangerous types of work that require the speed of mental and motor reactions, as well as increased concentration (including driving a car).
