What Experts Say

Cetirizine is one of the most commonly used antihistamines in Pakistan, especially during the spring pollen season and dusty summer months. It works by blocking histamine, the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction, which reduces sneezing, itching and swelling.

Doctors describe it as a second generation antihistamine, meaning it is less likely to cause the heavy drowsiness seen with older allergy medicines. Even so, some people do feel mildly sleepy, so it is best to see how your body reacts before driving after the first dose.

For people with ongoing allergic conditions like allergic rhinitis or chronic hives, physicians often recommend daily use during flare seasons rather than only taking it when symptoms appear. This tends to keep symptoms better controlled overall.
