2. What you need to know before starting to take Aralevo

Do not take Aralevo

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to levocetirizine dihydrochloride or to an antihistamine or to any of the other components of Aralevo (See “Composition of Aralevo”).
  • If you have a severe impairment of renal function (severe renal insufficiency with a creatinine clearance of less than 10 ml/min).

Be especially careful with Aralevo

  • Aralevo is not recommended for use in children under 6 years old since the film-coated tablets do not allow for dose adjustment.

Use of other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those obtained without a prescription.

Taking Aralevo with food and beverages

Caution is recommended if Aralevo is taken at the same time as alcohol.

In sensitive patients, the simultaneous intake of cetirizine or levocetirizine and alcohol or other agents acting at the central nervous system level may have effects on the central nervous system, although the racemic cetirizine has shown that it does not potentiate the effect of alcohol.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.

Driving and operating machinery

Some patients treated with Aralevo may experience drowsiness, fatigue and exhaustion. If you are going to drive, perform potentially hazardous activities or use machinery, it is recommended that you wait and observe your response to the medication. Nevertheless, in special tests performed on healthy individuals, no alterations in attention, reaction time and ability to drive were detected after taking levocetirizine at the recommended dose.

Important information about some of the components of Aralevo

This medication contains lactose. If your doctor has indicated that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.

3. How to Take Aralevo

Follow exactly the administration instructions for Aralevo as indicated by your doctor. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any doubts.

The usual dose for adults and children aged 6 years and above is one tablet per day.

Patients with renal insufficiency should receive a lower dose according to the severity of their renal disease.

Patients with liver insufficiency only should take the normal prescribed dose.

Patients with both liver and renal insufficiency should take a lower dose according to the severity of their renal disease, and in children the dose will be based on body weight; your doctor will determine the dose to be taken.

Aralevo is not recommended for use in children under 6 years of age.

The tablets should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken either on an empty stomach or with food.

If you take more Aralevo than you should

A significant overdose may cause drowsiness in adults. In children, it may initially cause agitation and restlessness followed by drowsiness.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20 (indicating the medication and the amount ingested).

If you forget to take Aralevo

If you have forgotten to take Aralevo, or if you take a dose lower than prescribed by your doctor, do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed doses, simply wait until the next scheduled dose time and take the normal dose prescribed by your doctor.

If you interrupt treatment with Aralevo

Stopping treatment with Aralevo before the scheduled time should not have any adverse effects, in the sense that the symptoms of the disease should reappear progressively with a severity not greater than the severity before starting treatment with Aralevo.

If you have any other questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
