Overview
CP Pharma Cetirizine 10mg Tablet contains Cetirizine Hydrochloride 10mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet by mouth with a glass of water, with or without food, generally once daily as needed or as directed on the packaging or by a pharmacist. It can be taken at any time of day, though taking it at the same time each day may help maintain consistent symptom control, and it should be swallowed whole rather than chewed or crushed unless otherwise advised.
Dosage
The usual adult and adolescent dose is one 10mg tablet once daily, and this should not be exceeded within a 24-hour period. Children, the elderly, and individuals with reduced kidney function may require a lower dose or less frequent dosing, so the product label or a pharmacist should be consulted before use in these groups.

Relevant Information
Cetirizine is intended for the relief of allergic symptoms rather than the underlying cause of the allergy, so identifying and avoiding known allergy triggers where possible remains important. Persistent, severe, or worsening allergic symptoms, or any signs of a severe allergic reaction such as facial swelling or difficulty breathing, should be assessed by a doctor promptly.

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.
