Cetirizine has minimal anticholinergic or antiserotonergic activity and has limited penetration into the brain. Levocetirizine is the active R enantiomer of cetirizine. It has an affinity for H1 receptors approximately 2-fold higher than racemic cetirizine. At a dose of 5 mg, levocetirizine inhibits wheal and flare reactions in children and adults for up to 24 hours.
