Cetirizine - is available over-the-counter as Zyrtec , Reactine and Cetzine. It is also prescribed in combination with pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a decongestant. These combinations are marketed using the same brand name as the cetirizine with a "-D" suffix (Zyrtec-D, Virlix-D, etc.). It is used in the treatment of allergies, hay fever, and urticaria.
It is a second-generation antihistamine, a major metabolite of hydroxyzine and a selective H1 receptor inverse agonist. In theory, Cetirizine crosses the blood-brain barrier only slightly, reducing the sedative side-effect common with some antihistamines. Nevertheless, the effects in terms of figures are substantial. Dryness of the mouth, nose and throat, urinary retention, blurred vision and stomach ache are commonly reported side effects of this drug.
