Product Overview

Introduction of Glencet 5mg Tablet 10s (strip)

Glencet 5mg Tablet is an antihistamine medication containing Cetirizine Hydrochloride as its active ingredient, belonging to the second-generation antihistamine drug class that works with a lower risk of causing drowsiness compared to older antihistamines. If you are considering this tablet, it is good to know that like most medicines, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals, including drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, and fatigue — though not everyone will experience these. This is a widely recognised and trusted formulation that has been used for many years across the globe, and it is generally well-tolerated by most adults and children above the recommended age. Before you start taking Glencet 5mg, we always recommend having a quick chat with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have any existing health conditions or are currently on other medications — your safety always comes first.

Do not crush or chew the tablet unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Dosage of Glencet 5mg Tablet

The commonly recommended dose for adults and children aged 6 years and above is 5mg to 10mg once daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the prescribing doctor's advice. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions and never exceed the recommended dose without professional guidance.

Shelf Life of Glencet 5mg Tablet

Glencet 5mg Tablet typically has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture, as indicated on the product packaging.

Drug & Food Interaction of Glencet 5mg Tablet

Being aware of potential interactions helps you use Glencet 5mg Tablet safely and effectively.

Drug Interactions:

Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants — Taking Glencet 5mg alongside sedatives, sleeping pills, tranquillisers, or anti-anxiety medications may increase drowsiness and sedation effects
Alcohol — Concurrent use of alcohol with Cetirizine may enhance CNS depression and increase the risk of drowsiness and impaired coordination; avoid alcohol while taking this medication
Theophylline — High doses of theophylline (used for respiratory conditions) may slightly reduce the clearance of Cetirizine from the body
Ritonavir (HIV medication) — May increase the plasma concentration of Cetirizine, potentially intensifying its effects and side effects
Other Antihistamines — Avoid combining with other antihistamine products unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects
Anticholinergic Medications — Combined use may increase the risk of anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary retention

Food Interactions:

Grapefruit juice — Although not a major documented interaction for Cetirizine, it is generally advisable to take the tablet with plain water
Heavy meals — Food does not significantly affect the absorption of Cetirizine; however, taking it with a light meal may help reduce any stomach discomfort

Always inform your doctor or pharmacist of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.
