About Cetirizine Dihydrochloride
Cetirizine Dihydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of cetirizine, a second-generation antihistamine derived from hydroxyzine. It is a selective H1-receptor antagonist known for its minimal sedative effects and long duration of action. Cetirizine is commonly prescribed to manage seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis, and other histamine-mediated conditions.
Mechanism of Action:
Cetirizine blocks H1 receptors, thereby inhibiting histamine release—a key mediator in allergic responses. It reduces symptoms like sneezing, nasal discharge, itching, and hives without significant central nervous system depression due to limited blood-brain barrier penetration.
Therapeutic Indications:
- Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial)
- Chronic idiopathic urticaria
- Allergic conjunctivitis
- Dermal allergic reactions (hives, itching)
- Upper respiratory allergies
- Atopic dermatitis (as adjunct)
- Cold-related sneezing and runny nose
Cetirizine is considered one of the most reliable non-sedating antihistamines available, suitable for pediatric, adult, and geriatric use.
