Cetirizine Dihydrochloride

Syrup

Cetirizine Syrup is an antihistamine formulation used for the relief of allergic conditions such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itching, and skin allergies. It helps block the action of histamine, a substance responsible for allergic reactions in the body.
The formulation provides effective relief from seasonal and perennial allergic symptoms while causing minimal sedation compared to first-generation antihistamines. It is commonly used in both pediatric and adult patients for allergy management.
