Cetirizine Tablet contains cetirizine (10 mg) which acts on your body as follows:

• Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonist: Cetirizine works by blocking a type of receptor in your body known as H1 receptors. These receptors are involved in triggering inflammation and allergy symptoms when they bind with a substance called histamine.

• Reducing Allergic Symptoms: By preventing histamine from attaching to H1 receptors, cetirizine effectively stops the chain of allergic reactions that lead to symptoms like itching, sneezing, and watery eyes.

• Minimal Sedative Potential: Compared to firstgeneration antihistamines, cetirizine has a low likelihood of causing sedation due to its limited penetration into the brain. This makes it a preferable choice for managing allergy symptoms with fewer side effects.

• Store Cetirizine Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Keep it in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight.

• To prevent accidental consumption, always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Make sure you use it before the expiry date indicated on the package.

• Since Cetirizine Tablet manages allergies, it's helpful to identify and avoid known allergens in your diet or environment. These could be certain foods, dust, pollen, or pet dander.

• Engaging in regular physical activity can boost your immune system and possibly reduce allergic reactions. Consult your doctor about suitable exercises for you.
