Zyrtec
Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine medication used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and itching caused by hay fever or other allergies. It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body responsible for allergy symptoms. Zyrtec is typically taken once daily and is available over the counter. It usually causes less drowsiness than older antihistamines, but some people may still experience fatigue. It's effective for managing allergy symptoms and can be used regularly or as needed to improve comfort during allergy seasons or in response to exposure.
