What Experts Say

Cetirizine blocks histamine, the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction, which stops sneezing, itching and runny nose.

It is taken once daily and usually starts working within an hour, with effects lasting up to 24 hours.

It causes less drowsiness than older antihistamines, though some people still feel mildly sleepy, so caution is advised until the response is known.
