ORIZIN SYP 60ML

About

Cetirizine is a highly effective second-generation antihistamine, specifically designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic reactions. Its primary mechanism involves selectively blocking histamine H1 receptors, thereby preventing histamine, a key mediator of allergic responses, from binding to its receptors and triggering symptoms. This action significantly reduces the manifestations of allergic conditions such as seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, characterized by sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) and other allergic skin rashes. Cetirizine offers rapid and long-lasting relief from these bothersome symptoms, with a generally low incidence of sedation compared to older antihistamines, making it a preferred choice for daily management of allergies in both adults and children.
