Cetzine Tablet is taken orally.

Cetzine Tablet contains cetirizine (10 mg) which works on your body as follows:

• Binds to H1 Receptors: Cetirizine acts by selectively binding to H1 receptors found on various cells in your body that are involved in allergic reactions.

• Block Histamine: Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions that causes symptoms like itching and swelling. By blocking these H1 receptors, cetirizine prevents histamine from binding to these receptors and causing allergic symptoms.

• Symptom Reduction: By inhibiting the action of histamine, cetirizine helps reduce the severity and duration of allergic symptoms such as itching, swelling, rashes, runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing.

• Keep Cetzine Tablet at room temperature, not exceeding 30° Celsius.

• Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• If you're dealing with allergic rhinitis (hay fever), try to avoid outdoor activities during peak pollen times. This can help lessen your exposure to allergens that might worsen your symptoms.

• For those experiencing allergic skin reactions, be mindful of your diet. Some foods may cause flare-ups. Try keeping a food diary to identify potential triggers and discuss them with your doctor for a personalised plan.
