The increased polarity of Levocetrizine may decrease distribution of the drug into 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.
