ALLERCET DC TAB

About

Allercet DC Tab is a combination medication designed to provide comprehensive relief from allergy symptoms. It contains Cetirizine, a second-generation antihistamine, and Pseudoephedrine, a decongestant. Cetirizine works by blocking histamine H1 receptors, thereby reducing allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, with minimal sedative effects. Pseudoephedrine acts as a vasoconstrictor, reducing swelling in the nasal passages and sinuses, which effectively relieves nasal congestion and pressure. This dual-action formula targets both the allergic response and the associated congestion, offering effective and long-lasting symptom control for various allergic conditions.

• Breastfeeding - Consult your doctor. Both components pass into breast milk and may cause irritability in the infant or reduce milk supply.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment. Dose adjustment for Cetirizine may be necessary, and liver function should be monitored.
• Kidney - Dose adjustment is required in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment to prevent accumulation and potential toxicity of both components.
