Product Introduction:
Allercet Tablet is a medication containing the active ingredient Cetirizine (10mg). It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), allergic conjunctivitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that provides relief from allergic symptoms without causing significant drowsiness.
Allercet Tablet can be taken with or without food. The dose required for you may vary depending on what you are taking it for. This medicine is usually taken in the evening but follow the advice of your doctor on how to take it. You may need this medicine only on days you have symptoms, but if you are taking it to prevent symptoms you should take it regularly. If you miss doses or stop taking it earlier than advised, your symptoms may come back.
This medicine is generally very safe. The most common side effects include feeling sleepy or dizzy. These are usually mild and go away after a couple of days as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worry you. You should avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.
Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have any kidney problems or epilepsy. Your dose may need to be modified or this medicine may not be suitable. Some other medicines can interact with this medicine so let your healthcare team know what else you are taking. You should also talk to your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, although it is not thought to be harmful.
