Benefits

• Cetirizine is one of the most potent selective H1 antihistamines available OTC, providing comprehensive blockade of the histamine-driven allergy symptoms that cause sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes in allergic rhinitis
• The 24-hour duration from a single tablet eliminates the need for repeat dosing during the day, which is the most common compliance failure with shorter-acting antihistamines
• Minimal blood-brain barrier penetration means cetirizine provides its full peripheral antihistamine effect without the cognitive impairment, sedation, and performance degradation that first-generation antihistamines cause
• Equally effective for perennial allergic rhinitis (year-round exposure to house dust mite, pet dander, mould) and seasonal rhinitis (pollen), providing versatile allergy management with one product
• The 20-tablet pack provides 20 days of daily allergy coverage - practical for a short allergy season or for establishing whether cetirizine is the right choice before purchasing a larger supply

How to Use
