Cetirizine 10mg tablets are a reliable antihistamine used to alleviate various allergy symptoms. Each tablet contains 10mg of cetirizine hydrochloride, which effectively reduces reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes. This medication is suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age.

How Cetirizine Works

Cetirizine functions by blocking histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during allergic reactions. By inhibiting histamine, cetirizine helps prevent and relieve common allergy symptoms, providing relief from discomfort.

  • Hay fever (allergic rhinitis)
  • Perennial allergic rhinitis
  • Chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives)

  • Skin allergies

  • Adults and children over 12 years: 10mg once daily.
  • Children 6 to 12 years: 5mg twice daily (half a tablet in the morning and evening).
  • Children under 6 years: Not recommended without medical advice.

It is advisable to take cetirizine with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Precautions

Before taking cetirizine, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, especially:

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking cetirizine, as it may enhance drowsiness. Additionally, exercise caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how cetirizine affects you.
