The study stated that
Cetirizine is safe, well-tolerated, and may help prevent relapses in NMO.
In this study, comparison of mean phenobarbitone sleep duration of all the low dose groups and high dose groups of antihistamine pre-treated animal shows fexofenadine and terfenadine have shorter duration of sleep compared with that of astemizole and
cetirizine groups.
AC-170 is a formulation of
cetirizine (an oral antihistamine, available under brand names including Zyrtec) being assessed for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.
The
cetirizine HCl is freely soluble in water and PBS.

For instance, a 6-year-old boy taking 5mg
cetirizine for 3 days, developed spontaneous deviation of jaw and dysphagia.4 The patient was administered an equal dose of biperiden, an anticholinergic, before the symptoms subsided.4 In another report of 2006, a child presented with dystonic reaction 18 days post
cetirizine treatment (5mg everyday).5
Cetirizine comes in various generic and Zyrtec formulations.
Keeping in view of the above ideas, the present study has been undertaken to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of newer non-sedative H1 receptor blocker
cetirizine on the acute and chronic inflammatory models in albino rats.
Taken once or twice daily, over-the-counter (OTC) products that contain the active ingredient loratadine (Claritin) or
cetirizine (Zyrtec) help treat runny nose, sneezing, and itchy and watery eyes.
This randomized parallel group study of 83 patients with multiple sclerosis who had recently begun glatiramer acetate therapy investigated whether administration of an oral antihistamine (
cetirizine hydrochloride; Zyrtec, 10 mg) prior to each daily subcutaneous injection of glatiramer acetate would lower the incidence of LISRs compared with an oral placebo.
The ETAC (Early Treatment of the Atopic Child) study (18) examined the role of
cetirizine in delaying the atopic march.
