Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Teczine M 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: Teczine M calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Teczine M 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: Teczine M 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.

Side effects

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

Drowsiness
dizziness
dry mouth
fatigue
headache
nausea
abdominal discomfort

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.

How to use

Oral syrup. Use as prescribed by a doctor; measure dose with a calibrated spoon/cup. Can be taken with or without food; take at the same time each day. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

How it works

Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that blocks peripheral H1 receptors. It reduces the effects of histamine responsible for allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing and runny nose, with relatively less sedation than older antihistamines.
