Cognitriz 2.5mg Syrup is an anti-allergic medication used to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes, skin rashes, runny nose, itching and sneezing. It is prescribed for the following conditions:

Cognitriz 2.5mg Syrup contains levocetirizine, a low-sedating, long-acting H1-receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the effect of a chemical called histamine, which produces allergic reactions.

Histamine is part of the immune system that triggers the allergic response when something (an allergen) enters the body. All the coughing, sneezing, vomiting and runny nose that one might experience functions as a means of getting rid of this allergen from the body.

People with severe allergies experience symptoms due to these histamines' exaggerated function. The histamines bind with the H1 receptors and start the immune response to those allergens. That is why levocetirizine is prescribed in cases like this. It competitively inhibits/blocks the interaction of histamine with its H1 receptors.

Histamine causes the allergic reaction, and Cognitriz 2.5mg Syrup contains levocetirizine (an antihistamine) which stops histamines from working.
