GSK T-Day Tablet, 1-Strip

Description

GSK T-Day Tablet is an antihistamine medication designed to alleviate allergy symptoms. Here are the key details about this product:

Product Overview

• Name: GSK T-Day Tablet
• Pack Size: 1 strip (usually containing 10 tablets)
• Active Ingredient: Levocetirizine dihydrochloride
• Dosage: 5 mg per tablet

Uses

T-Day Tablets are effective for:

• Allergic Rhinitis: Relieves symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
• Chronic Urticaria (Hives): Reduces itching and rash associated with hives.

Mechanism of Action

Levocetirizine works as a selective H1-receptor antagonist, blocking the action of histamine—a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. This makes it suitable for daily use without causing significant drowsiness, unlike some first-generation antihistamines.

Dosage Recommendations

• Adults and Children (6 years and older): One tablet (5 mg) daily.
• It can be taken with or without food.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Drowsiness (less common with levocetirizine)
• Fatigue
• Dry mouth

Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions. If any severe reactions occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.
