Dear Editor Levocetirizine is a third-generation non-sedative antihistaminic agent and has developed from the second-generation antihistaminic drug: cetirizine. It may have side effects such as sleepiness, headache, dry mouth, lightheadedness, vision problems, palpitations and fatigue. There are only few cases reporting cetirizine induced liver toxicity.
