pharmachologic effect

Levocetirizine - the R-enantiomer of cetirizine, which belongs to the group of competitive histamine antagonists, blocks histamine H1 receptors.

It has an effect on the histamine-dependent stage of allergic reactions, reduces the migration of eosinophils, reduces vascular permeability, and limits the release of inflammatory mediators.

It prevents the development and facilitates the course of allergic reactions, has an antiexudative, antipruritic effect.

Virtually no anticholinergic and antiserotonergic action.

In therapeutic doses, it practically does not have a sedative effect.

The action of the drug Suprastinex drops begins 12 minutes after taking a single dose in 50% of patients, after 1 hour - in 95% and lasts for 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

The pharmacokinetic parameters of levocetirizine vary linearly and practically do not differ from the pharmacokinetics of cytirizine.

After oral administration, it is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

Food intake does not affect the completeness of absorption, but reduces its rate.

In adults, after a single dose of the drug in a therapeutic dose (5 mg), Cmax in blood plasma is reached after 0.9 h and is 207 ng / ml (for tablets) and 270 ng / ml (for drops), after repeated administration at a dose of 5 mg - 308 ng / ml.

Bioavailability reaches 100%.

Distribution

Levocetirizine is 90% bound to blood plasma proteins.

Vd is 0.4 l / kg.

Css is reached after 2 days.

Metabolism

Less than 14% of the drug is metabolized in the liver by N- and O-dealkylation (in contrast to other antagonists of histamine H1-receptors, which are metabolized in the liver using the CYP system).

Due to the low metabolism and metabolic potential, the interaction of levocetirizine with other drugs seems unlikely.

Withdrawal

In adults, T1 / 2 is 7.9 hours +/- 1.9 hours (for drops), 7-10 hours (for tablets), the total clearance is 0.63 ml / min / kg.

About 85.4% of the taken dose of the drug is excreted by the kidneys unchanged by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion

about 12.9% - through the intestines.

Pharmacokinetics in special patient groups

In renal failure (CC less than 40 ml / min), clearance is reduced, and T1 / 2 is lengthened (for example, in patients on hemodialysis, total clearance is reduced by 80%), which requires a corresponding change in the dosage regimen.

Less than 10% of levocetirizine is removed during a standard 4-hour hemodialysis procedure.

In young children, T1 / 2 is shortened.

- Year-round (persistent) and seasonal (intermittent) allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis (itching, sneezing, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, lacrimation, conjunctival hyperemia)
