What Experts Say

Cetirizine is a second generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine H1 receptors in blood vessels, skin and airway tissue. Histamine is the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction, and by blocking its receptor, cetirizine stops sneezing, itching, watery eyes and swelling before they build up.

Compared with older, first generation antihistamines like chlorpheniramine, cetirizine crosses into the brain in much smaller amounts. This gives it a lower chance of causing sedation, though some people still feel mildly drowsy, especially at higher doses or when combined with alcohol.

Cetirizine is absorbed quickly and starts working within about an hour, with effects lasting roughly 24 hours, which is why a single daily tablet is usually enough. It is cleared mainly through the kidneys, so people with significant kidney impairment may need a lower dose or a longer gap between doses.
