Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
You should not take any sort of medicine continuously for a long time so even levocetrizine should not be used continuously.Since you are having atopic dermatitis you can use it when required but do not use continuously.
Thanks

Hi welcome to HCM forum
Tablet levocetrizine is safe medicine. But all medicine has some side effects So longterm continuation of medicine is not recommended. And you can consult your dermatologist for newer medicine.
Thank you
