Allercet Syrup (Cetrizine Hydrochloride)

  • Each 5ml syrup contains Cetirizine Hydrochloride 5 mg.
  • Indicated for treatment of allergic rhinitis & chronic urticaria.
  • Cetirizine hydrochloride, a human metabolite of hydroxyzine, is a potent antihistamine that selectively inhibits the effect of peripheral H (1)-receptors. Cetirizine belongs to the piperazine class of antihistamines and is the major carboxylated metabolite of hydroxyzine.
  • Children 6 to 11 years of age: 2.5 mg oral solution is given once daily in the evening. Children 12 years of age and older: 5 mg oral solution is given once daily in the evening.
  • History of hypersensitivity to any of the constituents of the formulation, to hydroxyzine or to any piperazine derivatives. Cetirizine is contraindicated during lactation. Patients with end-stage renal impairment at less than 10 mL/min creatinine clearance or patients undergoing hemodialysis and in children 6 to 11 years of age with renal impairment.
  • Concurrent use with alcohol or other CNS depressants may cause additional reductions in alertness and impairment of performance. Caution in epileptic patients and patients at risk of convulsions is recommended.
  • There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in human pregnancy, lactation and children. This product should only be used in pregnancy if considered essential by the physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose of 2.5 mg once daily in children 6 to 11 years of age. The systemic exposure with the 5 mg dose is approximately twice that of adults.
  • No clinically significant drug interactions have been found with theophylline at a low dose, azithromycin, pseudoephedrine, ketoconazole, or erythromycin. A small decrease in the clearance of cetirizine is caused by a 400 mg dose of theophylline; it is possible that larger theophylline doses could have a greater effect.
