Description

📌 Composition

• Cetirizine Hydrochloride (usually 5 mg or 10 mg per tablet / syrup form available)

🤧 Uses

Alexcet is used to treat:

• Allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion)
• Seasonal allergies
• Dust or pollen allergy
• Urticaria (hives)

⚙️ How It Works

When you have an allergy, your body releases a chemical called histamine.
Cetirizine blocks histamine receptors, helping to reduce:

• Sneezing
• Itching
• Swelling
• Runny nose

Usually mild and temporary:

• Drowsiness (less compared to older antihistamines)
• Dry mouth
• Headache
• Mild stomach discomfort

⚠️ Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may increase drowsiness.

📌 Important Advice

• Take once daily or as prescribed by your doctor.
• Can be taken with or without food.
• Not an antibiotic — it treats allergy symptoms only.
• Consult a doctor before use in children, pregnancy, or kidney problems.
