Cet-10 Tablets (cetirizine) x100

How It Works

Cetirizine works by selectively blocking H1 histamine receptors, preventing the allergic response that causes symptoms. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, it has limited penetration into the brain, resulting in minimal sedation. The medication stabilizes mast cells and reduces inflammatory mediators, providing comprehensive allergy control.

Duration of Action

Initial relief begins within 1 hour of administration. Peak effects are achieved within 2-4 hours. A single dose provides consistent symptom control for 24 hours. Regular daily use may be needed during allergy season for optimal relief.

Dosage

Side Effects

Common side effects include mild drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache. Less common effects may include fatigue and gastrointestinal discomfort. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions or unusual mood changes.

Warning

Avoid alcohol while taking Cet-10 Tablets. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Not recommended for children under 6 years without medical supervision. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if allergic reactions occur.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before using Cet-10. Limited data suggests safety during pregnancy, but use only when clearly needed. Cetirizine passes into breast milk, so nursing mothers should discuss use with their healthcare provider.

Interaction

• May increase drowsiness when combined with alcohol
• Can enhance effects of other CNS depressants
• Minimal interaction with most medications

Precaution

Take as directed at the same time each day for best results. Individuals with kidney or liver impairment may need dose adjustment. Those with glaucoma or urinary retention should use with caution. Avoid using with other antihistamines unless directed by healthcare provider.
