Indications & Clinical Uses

Hayfever And Allergy Relief 10 mg tablets are indicated for the temporary relief of symptoms associated with several common allergic conditions.

  • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) – nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itching.
  • Seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis – itchy, watery eyes.
  • Urticaria (hives) – skin itching and wheal formation.
  • Other mild to moderate hypersensitivity reactions – such as itching of the throat or skin.

Side Effects

Side effects reported with cetirizine tablets are generally mild, but occasional serious reactions can occur.

Common

  • Drowsiness or mild sedation
  • Dry mouth
  • Headache

Serious

  • Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction)
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
  • Severe skin rash or blistering

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Hayfever And Allergy Relief, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and appropriate use.

  • Do not exceed the recommended dose; higher amounts do not increase effectiveness and may increase side‑effects.
  • Use caution if you have impaired kidney function, as cetirizine is primarily excreted renally.
  • Avoid operating machinery or driving if you experience drowsiness.
  • Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as safety data are limited.
  • Keep out of reach of children; accidental ingestion can cause serious adverse effects.
  • Review the label for any contraindications such as known hypersensitivity to cetirizine or other antihistamines.

Avoid Interactions

Cetirizine may interact with other medicines; be aware of the following potential interactions.

Avoid

  • Alcohol or other central nervous system depressants that may increase drowsiness.
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) taken within 14 days, which can enhance antihistamine effects.
  • Other antihistamines or sedating medications, which may compound sedation.

Use with caution

  • Theophylline, as cetirizine can increase its plasma concentration.
  • Certain antifungal agents (e.g., ketoconazole) that may affect cetirizine metabolism.
  • Renally cleared drugs in patients with reduced kidney function.

Frequently Asked Questions

The active ingredient is cetirizine dihydrochloride, an H1‑receptor antagonist that reduces histamine‑mediated allergy symptoms.

Cetirizine selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine from binding and thereby reducing itching, swelling, and nasal congestion.

Safety in pregnancy has not been fully established; you should consult a healthcare professional before using the product while pregnant.

Onset of action is typically within 1 hour after oral administration, with peak effect occurring around 2–4 hours.

Common side effects include mild drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache, which are usually transient.

If you experience drowsiness or reduced alertness, you should avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Combining multiple antihistamines can increase the risk of sedation and other side effects and is generally not recommended without medical advice.

Store the tablets in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the time of the next scheduled dose; do not double‑dose.

There are no specific dietary restrictions, but alcohol may increase drowsiness and should be used with caution.

Because cetirizine is eliminated primarily by the kidneys, reduced renal function may require dose adjustment or increased monitoring.

Cetirizine is a second‑generation antihistamine that generally causes less sedation than first‑generation agents, while still providing effective relief of allergic symptoms.
