Levocetrizine doesnot fall under catagory c which means it will not cause serious damage to growth of pregnancy
However
Organogenesis is happening bet 7-9 weeks of embryo
This is the time all medications to be avoided
Safe n proved supplement is folic acid , which is must
So advising to stop

We normally don’t advise any medication in early pregnancy except for vomiting and folic acid supplements.do check with physician or dermatologist for this as I don’t think levocetrizine once in 48 hours for a year is any kind of a treatment .avoid it please
