Hhlevo Dosage |
||
Generic name: Hhlevo DIHYDROCHLORIDE 5mg
Dosage form: tablet, film coated, oral solution
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Hhlevo is available as 2.5 mg/5 mL (0.5 mg/mL) oral solution and as 5 mg breakable (scored) tablets, allowing for the administration of 2.5 mg, if needed. Hhlevo can be taken without regard to food consumption.
The recommended dose of Hhlevo is 5 mg (1 tablet or 2 teaspoons [10 mL] oral solution) once daily in the evening. Some patients may be adequately controlled by 2.5 mg (1/2 tablet or 1 teaspoon [5 mL] oral solution) once daily in the evening.
The recommended dose of Hhlevo is 2.5 mg (1/2 tablet or 1 teaspoon [5 mL] oral solution) once daily in the evening. The 2.5 mg dose should not be exceeded because the systemic exposure with 5 mg is approximately twice that of adults.
The recommended initial dose of Hhlevo is 1.25 mg (1/2 teaspoon oral solution) [2.5mL] once daily in the evening. The 1.25 mg once daily dose should not be exceeded based on comparable exposure to adults receiving 5 mg.
In adults and children 12 years of age and older with:
No dose adjustment is needed in patients with solely hepatic impairment. In patients with both hepatic impairment and renal impairment, adjustment of the dose is recommended.
Cold or allergy medicine, sedatives, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by Hhlevo.
Tell your doctor about all medications you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with Hhlevo, especially:
ritonavir (Norvir, Kaletra); or
theophylline (Aquaphyllin, Asmalix, Elixophyllin, Theolair, Theosol).
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with Hhlevo, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.
Drug interaction studies have been performed with racemic cetirizine.
Antipyrine, Azithromycin, Cimetidine, Erythromycin, Ketoconazole, Theophylline and Pseudoephedrine: Pharmacokinetic interaction studies performed with racemic cetirizine demonstrated that cetirizine did not interact with antipyrine, pseudoephedrine, erythromycin, azithromycin, ketoconazole and cimetidine. There was a small decrease (approximately 16%) in the clearance of cetirizine caused by theophylline 400 mg dose. It is possible that higher theophylline doses could have a greater effect. Interactions with Other Medicaments:
The extent of absorption of Hhlevo is not reduced with food, although the rate of absorption is decreased.
In sensitive patients the simultaneous administration of cetirizine or Hhlevo and alcohol or other CNS depressants, may have effects on the central nervous system, although it has been shown that the racemate cetirizine does not potentiate the effect of alcohol.
