What Experts Say

Cetirizine is a second generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine H1 receptors, the chemical messengers responsible for sneezing, itching, and a runny nose during an allergic reaction. Because it does not cross into the brain as easily as older antihistamines, it causes noticeably less sedation for most people.

The standard adult dose is 10mg once daily, and its effect typically lasts close to 24 hours because of its relatively long half life in the body. Doctors often start with a lower dose in people with reduced kidney function, since the drug is cleared mainly through the kidneys.

Regular use during allergy season is generally considered safe, but doctors recommend reviewing ongoing use if symptoms are not improving after a couple of weeks, since persistent symptoms may need a different or additional treatment. Anyone who feels unusually drowsy or notices a fast heartbeat should mention it at their next visit.
