About This Medicine

Product description & overview

IG-Cet 10 Tablet contains Cetirizine 10 mg, a second-generation antihistamine used primarily for the relief of allergy symptoms. Cetirizine is a selective antagonist of peripheral H1 histamine receptors, effectively reducing the effects of histamine, a substance responsible for allergic manifestations. This medication is indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, including seasonal and perennial types, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria characterized by itching and hives. IG-Cet 10 Tablet provides symptomatic relief from sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. Due to its minimal penetration of the blood-brain barrier, Cetirizine is associated with a lower incidence of sedation compared to first-generation antihistamines. The recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years is one tablet daily, which can be adjusted based on clinical response and physician guidance. It is important to use IG-Cet 10 Tablet with caution in patients with renal impairment, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. Common adverse effects include headache, dry mouth, and fatigue, though these are generally mild and transient. IG-Cet 10 Tablet should be used under medical supervision, especially in pregnant or breastfeeding women.
