Cetirizine
Cetirizine is a widely used antihistamine available in tablet form, designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergies such as hay fever, dust, and pet allergies. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Cetirizine tablets are non-drowsy, making them suitable for daytime use, allowing individuals to maintain their usual activities without interruption. This medication is effective in reducing symptoms like sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes. It is generally well-tolerated and can provide relief for up to 24 hours with a single dose. Cetirizine is an accessible option for those seeking over-the-counter allergy relief. For optimal results, it is recommended to take the tablets as directed on the packaging or by a healthcare professional.Active substance:
