Introduction:Basic information about CAS 130018-87-0|Levocetirizine dihydrochloride, including its chemical name, molecular formula, synonyms, physicochemical properties, and safety information, etc.
Levocetirizine dihydrochloride ((R)-Cetirizine dihydrochloride) is a third-generation peripheral H1-receptor antagonist. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is an antihistaminic agent which is the R-enantiomer of Cetirizine. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride has a higher affinity for the histamine H1-receptor than (S)-Cetirizine and can effectively treat allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria[1].
