What Experts Say

Cetirizine belongs to the second generation antihistamine class. It blocks histamine at the H1 receptor, which is the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction. This action calms sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, and watery eyes within a short time after the tablet is swallowed.

Clinical reviews note that cetirizine causes noticeably less sedation than first generation antihistamines like diphenhydramine, since it crosses into the brain to a smaller degree. Doctors still advise caution in people with reduced kidney function, since the drug is cleared mainly through the kidneys and doses may need adjustment.

Physicians generally recommend avoiding alcohol and other sedating medicines while on this tablet, since combined use can increase drowsiness. A doctor's review is suggested if allergy symptoms last beyond a few weeks or come with breathing difficulty, since these signs may point to a condition needing different treatment.
