Summary
Antihistamines given in large systemic doses have been reported to make tissues partly resistant to hyaluronidase spreading action. The evidence is old and mainly relates to high doses of older antihistamines, so a clinically significant effect with standard levocetirizine doses is uncertain.
What this interaction means in plain words
Hyaluronidase and Levocetirizine have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Hyaluronidase belongs to Miscellaneous; Levocetirizine belongs to Respiratory.
Why it happens
Proposed antihistamine-related tissue resistance to hyaluronidase; the mechanism is not well established.
What to do
If dispersion is inadequate, consider a larger hyaluronidase dose; no routine antihistamine adjustment is needed.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
- Do I need to tell my doctor at the next visit?
