Overview
Sandoz Cetyrol 10mg Tablet is a tablet with Cetirizine 10mg – the active ingredient declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.
An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.
Directions for Use
Take one tablet by mouth with a glass of water, with or without food, generally at the same time each day. Since it can occasionally cause mild drowsiness in some people, some choose to take it in the evening, though this is not required for everyone.
Dosage
The usual dose for adults and children aged 12 years and above is one 10mg tablet once daily. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as doing so will not improve symptom relief and increases the chance of drowsiness and other side effects.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in the original blister packaging until ready to use. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Side Effects
Drowsiness or sleepiness (less common compared to older antihistamines)

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.

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
Unopened and stored correctly, Sandoz Cetyrol 10mg Tablet is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the blister strip and carton. Do not use the tablets after this date.
