Cetirizine Forums

I have a sneezing problem from past 5 years. As of now as advised by my family doctory, I'm taking Cetzine tablet whenever i have sneezing problem. Is it ok?. I want to know that it will produce any side effects. If yes, please let me know in details. ## I have throat infection problem which is very senistive. If i drink or eat any cold stuff it leads to Tonsilitis and the initial stage it begins with irritation in the tonsils Should is go for Cetzine? Does it have any side effects? ## Cetirizine is an antihistamine, this used to help prevent allergies. That said, it can help with sneezing that is caused by allergies, however, it will not help with Tonsilitis or sore throats, since these are normally caused by infections and not allergies. Common side effects to this may include: na...

I recently had to stop my Cetirizine for an antibiotic challenge test at my allergists office a week ago. Now I'm reading about withdrawal. I had a little itching all over like insect bites, but mostly since being back on Cetirizine, my nasal passages close completely during the day. I've tried Guaifenesin and just 100 mg or even 50 mg will open me up for 4 hours. Problem is I have irregular heart beats and weird dreams while in bed. I live in the country and there is plenty of dust. I think staying on this drug is risky. What other antihistamine might I try and I need to wean off of the one I'm on? Any advice is appreciated.

Does Cetirizine help with wheezing and bringing up phlegm associated with asthma? ## Yes, Cetirizine has been shown to help with symptoms as associated with seasonal allergies, and the asthma that may occur due to them. Ref: Allergy Medication Information However, it does not work like a rescue inhaler for severe asthma attacks. Has your doctor prescribed this for you?

I have a one-year old daughter and she has allergies. She also has rashes on her face, hands, and legs, and is frequently attacked by asthma. Her pediatrician prescribed alnix drops 2.5ml for two weeks and then 1ml once a day until she reaches 2 yrs old. I am having doubts the fact that alnix drops have its side effects on babies. Is it really safe to take alnix drops for more than two weeks? I hope you could answer my doubts. Thanks! ## Cetirizine is an antihistamine, that is commonly used to treat allergies. In the U.S. it is most commonly found under the trade name Zyrtec and is quite often used for children and, when necessary, is used on a long-term basis. In most cases, when someone suffers from such severe allergic reactions, it is necessary that they take some type of medication...

I have been having several medicines listed above. Gasy, dizziness, mood swings, Sleepiness, Agitation, passing gas a lot, headaches, blurred vision, Confusion,Depression, and panic attacks. This is the list of medicines I'm worried about mixing. Centirizine Trintellix Singulair Crestor Nexium ## Are you saying these are the symptoms being treated, or that these are the side effects you're experiencing? Side effects are generally more pronounced when you are taking more than one medication, and Cetirizine, Trinitellix, Singulair, Crestor, and Nexium can cause the issues you've reported. However, typically side effects will go away, after about 4 to 6 weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. Has there been any change?

Found a small unmarked container of these. One side is blank the other says 10 P seperated by a line in the middle. Thanks for any help.

First it was Cetirizine, then Doxepin, now Hydroxezine all in less than 3 weeks. Maybe my doctors are looking for a magic pill but does anyone have any advice or idea upon doxepin and Hydroxezine? Been over a month and my reactions are slowly getting better. Would Benadryl be bad? Doctors say it isn't but something is dragging my allergic reactions along after I stopped these medications. Owell I guess. ## Quit hydrox was allergic , messed up my vision. Doxepin 100 mg for 1 year for sleep. Works great. ## Takes a month or more for most psych meds to take effect and for most side affects to go away and thats from experience from trying and taking manu different psych meds ## Sarah, what symptoms are you experiencing that you consider to be allergic reactions? Normally, an allergic re...

I found 2 pop out round white pills in an old purse. The imprint is IP 46 on one side and the other side is plain. Is it a controlled substance? ## Hi Mary, A round white pill with IP over 46 on one side and blank on the other, reportedly contains 10mgs of Cetirizine hydrochloride; an antihistamine used for allergies. A prescription is sometimes needed, but to my knowledge, Cetirizine is not a controlled substance. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Rugby Laboratories and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 00536-4088. I hope this helps! ## Is this pill with IP on top and 46 on bottom something for migraines? I have a terrible migraine and thought it was generic for imitrex. Is that correct?

My 8 year old son's throat is hurting. Is Relent effective for throat infections or a dry cough? ## What has your child's doctor advised?

I take random urine drug tests for dcbs and I took one the other day and it came up positive for methamphetamine and I haven't taken anything except for allergy pills (cetirizine 10mgs). However, my worker said that wouldn't cause a positive urine drug test. ## I took an allergy pill and I had a drug test for a new job so I'm wondering if the allergy pill is ok because the medicine contains cetirizine? Please let me know. Thank you so much. ## I am also wondering - Can it make you fail a drug test for methamphetamine? I do not use any or take any drugs. I only take the meds Atorvastatin which is a cholestrol med, Cetrizine for allergies, Neurontin, Meloxicam for arthritis, and breathing meds: one for COPD and another for asthma. Can any of these make you test positive for me...
