What Experts Say

Doctors commonly recommend Egix Tablet 10mg for people bothered by seasonal or year round allergies, especially during Pakistan's dusty spring and pollen seasons. It contains cetirizine, an antihistamine that blocks histamine, the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction, easing symptoms within an hour.

Allergy specialists point out that cetirizine is a second generation antihistamine, meaning it crosses into the brain less than older drugs like chlorpheniramine, so most people stay alert while getting relief. It is also a common first choice for chronic hives that keep coming back over weeks or months.

Physicians advise taking Egix at the same time each day for the best steady effect and to check with a doctor before combining it with other cold or allergy products that may already contain an antihistamine, to avoid doubling up on the same ingredient unnecessarily and needlessly.
