Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine used to alleviate symptoms of allergic reactions. Second-generation antihistamines carry reduced risk of side effects and typically do not cause drowsiness.

It is possible to buy cetirizine under a number of brand names, with the most widely-recognized probably being Zyrtec. It is also available as a generic in most places. A prescription is typically not needed to buy cetirizine products.

It is also possible to buy cetirizine in a variety of forms, most commonly as tablets, chewable tablets and syrup. These products are largely interchangeable and a matter of personal preference. Syrups are ideal for patients unable or unwilling to swallow tablets. In many cases children prefer chewable tablets to syrups.

Cetirizine can be used in patients as young as 1 year old, though dosage will need to be adjusted for younger patients.

A Safer Allergy Solution

Second-generation antihistamines like cetirizine provide the same relief with reduced risk of side effects, particularly drowsiness, which enables allergy sufferers to alleviate symptoms without disrupting routine activities. People buy cetirizine to relieve:

• Itchy, red, watery eyes
• Nasal congestion
• Sneezing and runny, itchy nose
• Itching in the back of the throat
• Postnasal drip
• Itching from hives or allergy-related rash

Products like Cetirizine are often marketed towards individuals with seasonal hay fever and many people don't realize that antihistamines are equally effective against year-round and indoor allergies. Cetirizine will alleviate allergy symptoms caused by pollen, animal dander, dust, mold and many other commonly-encountered allergens.

Cetirizine is typically fast-acting, though the speed with which effects are noticed may vary to some extent depending on the particular formula used by the brand which produced it. All other factors being equal, non-chewable tablets, chewable tablets and syrup begin to work within the same time frame, typically 10 to 20 minutes.

Interestingly children process Cetirizine much faster than adults; while adults typically need take only one dose per day, children usually need two doses---spread evenly apart---to experience the same relief.

Warnings & Side Effects

While second-generation antihistamines are less likely to produce side effects than first-generation antihistamines, that does not mean the risk is non-existent. However, side effects are not only less likely, they're also typically less severe. Relatively common side effects include:

• Dry mouth, nose or throat
• Difficulty urinating
• Drowsiness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Headaches
• Stomachache
• Constipation

Very rarely more serious reactions are experienced which warrant medical attention:

• Rapid or uneven heartbeat
• Severe confusion
• Vision changes
• Inability to urinate
• Tremors

Cetirizine should not be used while pregnant or breastfeeding unless absolutely necessary. Avoid use of alcohol and other central nervous system depressants while taking cetirizine, as this will greatly enhance drowsiness.
