Uses & Benefits
Allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny/blocked nose, itchy/watery eyes), Urticaria (hives) and other allergic skin conditions with itching
How It Works
Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine. It blocks histamine (H1) receptors, reducing allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes and hives. It generally causes less drowsiness than older antihistamines, though sleepiness can still occur in some people.
