Medical Description

Cetirizine is a commonly used medicine to help relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, and itching in the eyes or nose. It also works well for skin allergies, such as hives and general itching. This medicine belongs to a group called antihistamines, which block a substance called histamine that the body produces during allergic reactions.
