What is Cetirizine
Cetirizine is a mainstream medication used to alleviate allergies. One factor that has made this medication very popular for its efficacy.
How effective are Cetirizine 10 mg tablets?
After coming into contact with some allergens, the body produces a chemical called histamine. This chemical is what causes most symptoms you get when experiencing allergic reactions. These reactions can occur when you inhale or even touch allergens like pet dander, mould, or plant pollen, affecting your nose, throat, sinuses, and your upper respiratory system.
Cetirizine hydrochloride in Cetirizine, 10 mg tablets, is an antihistamine. So, it helps you block the effects of histamine, hence allowing you to reduce allergy symptoms effectively. Some of the signs that using Cetirizine 10 mg tablets can help treat are:
-
A runny nose

Sneezing
-
Itchy or watery eyes

Itchy nose or throat
