Levocabastine is a selective second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist used primarily as an ophthalmic solution for symptomatic relief of allergic conjunctivitis. It is administered topically and has minimal systemic effects due to low absorption. Levocabastine is approved in some countries for ocular and intranasal use for allergic symptoms.
