What Experts Say

Cetirizine blocks histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction that causes sneezing, itching and a runny nose, relieving allergy symptoms effectively.

As a second generation antihistamine, it is long acting and mostly non-drowsy, so most people can take it once daily and continue their normal activities.

It controls symptoms well in Pakistan's dusty, high pollen conditions. Anyone with reduced kidney function may need a lower dose, since it is cleared mainly through the kidneys.
