It is the L-enantiomer of the cetirizine racemate.
Levocetirizine works by blocking histamine receptors. It does not
prevent the actual release of histamine from mast cells, but
prevents it binding to its receptors. This in turn prevents the
release of other allergy chemicals and increased blood supply to
the area, and provides relief from the typical symptoms of heigh
fever.
