Indications & Clinical Uses

Cetirizine Hydrochloride is an antihistamine used to treat symptoms of allergies and hives. It acts by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms.

  • Allergic rhinitis: Relieves symptoms such as itching of the nose or throat, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, and runny nose.
  • Urticaria (hives): Reduces itching and skin rashes caused by hives.
  • Allergic conjunctivitis: Alleviates itching and redness of the eyes due to allergies.

How It Works

  • Cetirizine Hydrochloride is a selective antagonist of peripheral histamine H1 receptors. By blocking these receptors, it reduces the effects of histamine on target cells, thereby alleviating allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and skin rashes.
