Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets is an antiallergic medication.
In adults and children aged 6 year and above, Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets are used:
- for the relief of symptoms of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) and allergies such as dust or pet allergies (perennial allergic rhinitis), such as sneezing, itchy, runny and blocked nose, red and watery eyes.
- for the relief of swelling, redness and itchiness of the skin (symptoms of chronicidiopathic urticaria, which is also known as chronic nettle rash).
Cetirizine Hydrochloride Dosage
These guidelines apply unless your doctor has given you different instructions on how to use Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets.
Please follow these instructions, otherwise Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets may not be fully effective.
Tablets need to be swallowed with a glass of liquid.

If you are an epileptic patient or a patient at risk of convulsions, you should ask your doctor for advice.
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
Due to the profile of cetirizine, no interactions with other drugs are expected.
Food does not noticeably affect the absorption of cetirizine.
No interactions having a noticeable impact have been observed between alcohol (at the blood level of 0.5 per millilitre corresponding to one glass of wine) and cetirizine used at the normal doses. However, as it is the case with all antihistamines, it is recommended to avoid consumption of alcohol while taking this medicine.
As with other drugs, use of Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets should be avoided by pregnant women. Accidental use of the drug by a pregnant woman should not produce any harmful effects on the foetus. Nevertheless, the administration of the medicine should be discontinued.
You should not take Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets during breast-feeding because cetirizine passes into breast milk.
Clinical studies have produced no evidence of impaired attention, alertness and driving capabilities after taking Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets at the recommended dose.
If you intend to drive, operate machinery, or perform other tasks that need your full attention, you should not exceed the recommended dose and you should closely observe your response to the drug. If you are a sensitive patient, you may find that the simultaneous use of alcohol or other nervous depressant agents may additionally affect your attention and ability to react.
Cetirizine 10 mg Tablets contain lactose; if you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, please contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product.
