What is Cetirizine for?

Cetirizine is a non-drowsy (second-generation) antihistamine medication like Loratadine, which is used to treat and prevent allergies. Allergic conditions include hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and hives (urticaria). Antihistamines can also be used to manage the symptoms of the common cold such as runny nose and sneezing. Cetirizine relieves symptoms of itching, runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.
