Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Zyrtec Tablet. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of Zyrtec Tablet

Zyrtec Tablet contains Cetirizine (10mg). It belongs to the Second-generation H1 antihistamine class of medicines.

Uses of Zyrtec Tablet

  • Allergic rhinitis (sneezing
  • Runny
  • Blocked nose
  • Itchy
  • Watery eyes)
  • Urticaria (hives)
  • Other allergic skin conditions with itching

Benefits of Zyrtec Tablet

In Allergic rhinitis
Zyrtec blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy
Zyrtec calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching
Zyrtec relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma
Zyrtec reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.

How Zyrtec Tablet works

Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that blocks peripheral H1 histamine receptors. This reduces allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes and skin wheals without significant sedation in most people.

How to take Zyrtec Tablet

Take as advised by doctor. Common adult dose is 1 tablet (10 mg) once daily; preferably at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow with water. May cause drowsiness in some—avoid driving if affected.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Zyrtec Tablet

Most side effects of Zyrtec are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Sleepiness/drowsiness
  • fatigue
  • dry mouth
  • headache
  • dizziness
  • nausea
  • sore throat

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
