📋Overview
Cetirizine is an antihistamine commonly used to address symptoms related to allergies. It is associated with the relief of sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching of the throat or nose. Cetirizine is often linked to conditions such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and chronic urticaria (hives). It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.
