Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Cetirizine is used to treat allergic conditions by blocking peripheral H1 receptors.
  • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever): reduces nasal congestion, sneezing and itching.
  • Seasonal allergy symptoms: alleviates watery eyes, runny nose and throat irritation.
  • Urticaria (hives): relieves skin itching and reduces wheal formation.

How It Works

  • Cetirizine Dihydrochloride selectively antagonises peripheral histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine from binding to its target cells. This inhibition reduces the vascular permeability, smooth‑muscle contraction and sensory nerve activation that underlie the classic symptoms of allergic reactions, providing relief without significant central nervous system sedation.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may occur with any antihistamine therapy.

Common Side Effects

  • Drowsiness or mild sedation
  • Headache
  • Dry mouth
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylactic reaction
  • Liver enzyme elevation
  • Blood dyscrasias such as neutropenia
  • Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis
  • Tachycardia or palpitations
  • Seizures (rare)

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before using cetirizine, consider the following safety measures.
  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Breastfeeding: discuss potential risks with a doctor.
  • Renal impairment: dose may require adjustment in severe cases.
  • Elderly patients: monitor for increased sedation.
  • Avoid alcohol: may potentiate drowsiness.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Cetirizine can interact with other medicines; awareness helps minimise risk.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Alcohol: may enhance sedative effects.
  • Other central nervous system depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines): increased drowsiness.
  • Theophylline: cetirizine may raise plasma theophylline levels.
  • Ritonavir: can increase cetirizine exposure.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Anticholinergic agents: additive dry‑mouth effect.
  • Cimetidine: may raise cetirizine concentrations.
  • Fluconazole: potential increase in cetirizine levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Morrisons Hayfever & Allergy Relief contains cetirizine, which is indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever), seasonal allergy manifestations such as sneezing and itchy eyes, and urticaria (hives). The medication works by reducing the body’s histamine response, helping to control nasal congestion, itching, and skin wheals.

Cetirizine Dihydrochloride is a second‑generation antihistamine that selectively blocks peripheral H1 histamine receptors. By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, it reduces vascular permeability, smooth‑muscle contraction, and sensory nerve activation, which are responsible for the classic signs of an allergic reaction such as itching, swelling, and nasal discharge.

The appropriate dose of Morrisons Hayfever & Allergy Relief is determined by a qualified prescriber based on the patient’s age, weight, renal function, and severity of symptoms. Patients should follow the healthcare professional’s instructions and the product label; no specific dosing regimen is provided here.

Safety data for cetirizine in pregnancy are limited, and the product is classified as pregnancy category unknown. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should discuss potential risks with their obstetrician. While cetirizine is excreted in breast milk, breastfeeding mothers should also consult a healthcare professional before use.

To place an order, visit the product page on gnhindia.com and submit an enquiry with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide. After the enquiry, the sales team will verify trade or institutional credentials, then provide pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Cetirizine is a second‑generation antihistamine, offering effective H1‑receptor blockade with a lower incidence of sedation compared with first‑generation agents such as diphenhydramine. Compared with other second‑generation options like loratadine or fexofenadine, cetirizine may have a slightly higher potential for mild drowsiness but provides rapid onset of action and a well‑established safety profile.

Morrisons Hayfever & Allergy Relief should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original packaging, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

The medication is supplied as oral tablets intended for swallowing with water. It is taken by mouth as directed by a healthcare professional, typically with or without food. Patients should not crush, chew, or dissolve the tablets unless specifically instructed.

While generally well tolerated, cetirizine can rarely cause severe adverse reactions such as anaphylaxis, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, liver enzyme elevation, blood dyscrasias, or seizures. Any signs of a serious allergic reaction, unexplained rash, jaundice, or unusual bleeding should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to cetirizine or any component of the tablet should not use the product. Caution is advised for patients with severe renal impairment, as dose adjustment may be required. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before initiating therapy.
