Could taking 10mg of Cetirizine Hydrochloride clear up a UTI or would I need a stronger antibiotic initially?

Hello, Larissa! How are you? Sorry about the UTI.

However, Cetirizine is not an antibiotic. It's an antihistamine that's used to treat allergies.

Learn more Cetirizine details here.

Thus, it won't do anything to treat a UTI.

Have you consulted your doctor?

They'll need to confirm the presence of an infection and prescribe you an appropriate antibiotic, if one is present.
