Relevant Information

Cetirizine is one of the most widely used antihistamines for everyday allergy symptoms and hives, and while it is generally well tolerated, its slightly higher chance of causing drowsiness compared with some other second-generation antihistamines is worth keeping in mind, especially for those who drive or operate machinery. Seek medical advice if allergy symptoms are severe, associated with breathing difficulty, or do not improve with regular use.
