Zyrtec 1 mg/ml Oral Solution 75 ml

Zyrtec 1mg/ml Oral Solution contains Cetirizine Hydrochloride at the concentration appropriate for pediatric dosing, allowing accurate weight-based administration to infants and young children who cannot yet swallow tablets. Cetirizine is a selective H1 histamine receptor antagonist with proven efficacy for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and urticaria, with the second-generation non-drowsy profile that makes it safe for children during daytime activity and school attendance.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Cetirizine Hydrochloride 1mg/ml
• Form: Oral solution
• Volume: 75ml
• Drug class: Second-generation antihistamine
• Suitable for: Infants and children - dose by age and weight

Benefits

• Cetirizine's selective H1 receptor blockade prevents histamine-mediated allergy symptoms including sneezing, itchy runny nose, watery eyes, and urticaria without the sedating CNS effects of first-generation antihistamines that impair children's learning and activity
• The 1mg/ml liquid concentration allows precise age-appropriate and weight-appropriate dosing using the measuring syringe provided, ensuring children receive the correct therapeutic dose without the risk of over or under-dosing that tablet-cutting or estimation introduces
• Once-daily dosing provides 24-hour allergy coverage from a single administration, supporting compliance in children whose parents manage multiple daily medications
• The liquid format allows administration to infants as young as 6 months (as directed by physician) who cannot manage solid dosage forms, making it the most flexible format for managing allergies across the full pediatric age range
• Zyrtec's well-characterized pediatric safety data from decades of international use provides the pharmacovigilance foundation that distinguishes it from generic cetirizine solutions for sensitive young patients
