Hicet Tablet is taken orally.

Hicet Tablet contains cetirizine (10 mg), which has the following effects on your body:

• Antagonizes H1 Receptors: Cetirizine selectively targets H1 receptors in your body. These receptors are involved in triggering allergic reactions.

• Stabilizes Mast Cells: Apart from targeting H1 receptors, cetirizine also stabilizes mast cells in your system. Mast cells are immune cells that release histamine during allergic responses.

• Blocks Histamine Effects: By working on both H1 receptors and mast cells, cetirizine effectively blocks the effects of histamine—the chemical responsible for typical allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose.

• Store your Hicet Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Shield the medicine from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date on the packaging before use, and discard any unused tablets after that date.

• For those managing allergic rhinitis with Hicet Tablet, try minimising exposure to allergens like dust and pollen. This can help lessen your allergic reactions.

• If you're using Hicet Tablet for chronic idiopathic urticaria, avoid known triggers such as certain foods or stress. This can help prevent or reduce hives flare-ups.
