What Is Cetirizine 10mg?

Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine, sold under the brand name Zyrtec, that blocks histamine — a chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. It is commonly used for seasonal and year-round allergies as well as chronic hives. Many people searching for where to buy cetirizine find it available over the counter in the U.S.; ordering here adds a provider review to make sure it fits your health history. It is generally less sedating than older antihistamines like diphenhydramine, though drowsiness can still occur.
