Histacet 5 MG Tablet 20 contains cetirizine (5 mg), which acts in the body as follows:

• Histamine H1 receptor antagonist: Cetirizine is a selective antagonist of the histamine H1 receptor. This means it blocks the action of histamine.

• Allergy management: By blocking histamine's action, cetirizine helps manage various symptoms associated with allergies, like itching, inflammation, and more.

• Reduced sedative effects: Unlike first-generation antihistamines, cetirizine does not cross the blood-brain barrier easily. This reduces the sedative side effects that are common with other antihistamines.

• Keep Histacet 5 MG Tablet 20 at room temperature.

• Store in a closed container, protected from light and moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packaging before use.
