Composition

Cetirizine (10 Mg)

Cetriact 10 MG Tablet 10 is used to relieve the symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes, and it is also used for chronic hives (urticaria) and other allergic skin reactions. It contains cetirizine, a second-generation antihistamine that blocks the H1 receptors, preventing histamine from triggering the inflammatory responses that cause allergy symptoms; although it causes less drowsiness than some older antihistamines, it may still cause drowsiness in some people.

Take the tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Consult your doctor before use, and tell them about any other conditions or medicines.

Cetriact 10 MG Tablet 10 offers rapid relief from allergy symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and irritation caused by hay fever. It also reduces itching and swelling from hives and alleviates discomfort from insect bites and stings.

Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.

Prevents allergy symptoms: By blocking these histamine receptors, cetirizine prevents histamine from attaching to these receptors during an allergic reaction. This action prevents histamine from causing allergy symptoms such as rash, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
