Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. First of all, please re-check the content of Levosetride 5 mg yourself. It is Levocetrizine 5 mg.

It is not a steroid. It is an antihistamine which is used in allergies and itching. Common side effects are sedation, drowsiness, impaired concentration, etc. If you are not experiencing any of these, I would think you can continue using it for long period. I have not heard it to have any effect on infertility/infertility treatment.

2. Personally I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you to identify the substances causing troubles to you and also to know how to avoid exposure to them.

3. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

4. Regular breathing exercises and diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will help you in a long run.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
