Dust, smog, and seasonal pollen cause frequent allergy flare ups in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi. Alerid Tablet 10mg is one of the most commonly used antihistamines in these cities for quick symptom relief.
Cetirizine, the active ingredient in this tablet, works by blocking histamine, a chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction. This action calms sneezing, itching, and swelling within a short time.
People with ongoing or severe allergy symptoms should consult a doctor before long term use. Oladoc allows patients across Pakistan to book an allergy specialist online for further evaluation.
