Levocetrizine or levocetirizine is a selective, long acting peripheral H1 receptor antagonist antihistamine. The increased polarity of the drug may decrease distribution of the drug into the CNS, resulting in reduced potential for adverse CNS effects. Tolerance does not occur. As it does not readily cross the blood brain barrier, it does not cause sedation or interfere with mental alertness or memory function.
