How Cetirizine Works
Cetirizine is an antihistamine that works by reducing the effects of histamine in the body. Histamine plays an important role in many allergic reactions and contributes to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose and watery eyes.
By blocking histamine activity at H1 receptors, cetirizine helps reduce these allergy symptoms. It is generally considered a less-sedating antihistamine than some older antihistamines, although drowsiness can still occur in some people.

Some people may experience side effects while taking cetirizine. These can include:
- Sleepiness or tiredness
- Headache

Not everyone experiences side effects. If a side effect is persistent, severe or concerning, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
