DESCRIPTION
The active ingredient of Zyrtec, Cetirizine belongs to the group of competitive histamine antagonists, blocks H1-histamine receptors, has virtually no anticholinergic and antiserotonin effect. It has a pronounced antiallergic effect, prevents the development and alleviates the course of allergic reactions. It has an antipruritic and antiexudative effect. It affects the "early" stage of allergic reactions, and also reduces the migration of inflammatory cells; inhibits the release of mediators involved in the "late" stage of an allergic reaction. Reduces capillary permeability, prevents the development of tissue edema, relieves smooth muscle spasm. Eliminates skin reactions to the introduction of histamine, specific allergens, as well as to cooling (with cold urticaria).
In therapeutic doses it has virtually no sedative effect. Tolerance does not develop during a course of treatment.
