Description
Cetirizine Tab 10mg (Allacan) contains cetirizine hydrochloride, an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching of the nose or throat caused by hay fever, urticaria (hives), and other allergic conditions.
Cetirizine belongs to the class of second-generation antihistamines. It works by blocking histamine receptors in the body, thereby reducing the effects of histamine—a substance that causes allergic symptoms.
The tablet form is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food.
The typical adult dose is 10 mg once daily. For children aged 6 years and older, dosages may vary but are often lower; pediatric dosing should follow medical advice.
Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, and fatigue. It has a lower sedative effect compared to first-generation antihistamines.
Caution is advised in patients with kidney impairment, and it should not be used by individuals allergic to cetirizine or related compounds. Avoid combining with alcohol or sedatives due to increased drowsiness risk.
Use strictly according to dosing instructions provided by a healthcare professional or product label.
