About CETIRIZINE EXTRA STRENGTH
CETIRIZINE EXTRA STRENGTH is a medication containing the active ingredient CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE, a potent antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergies and hay fever. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the body's immune system during an allergic reaction.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Relieves symptoms of allergies, including sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes.
- Reduces itching and hives caused by allergies.
- Helps to relieve symptoms of urticaria (hives) and angioedema (swelling of the skin and mucous membranes).

CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE is a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the action of histamine at the H1 receptor sites in the body. This action helps to relieve symptoms of allergies and reduces the release of histamine from mast cells.
