Cetirizine-ADGC® film-coated tablets

Cetirizine-ADGC® film-coated tablets with 10 mg cetirizine can help with acute allergic symptoms such as hay fever, red skin, itchy nose or sore eyes.These over-the-counter antihistamines are available in various strengths and can be used both acutely and preventatively.Due to the long-lasting effect, a single dose of one tablet per day is sufficient for adults.In addition to film-coated tablets, these are also available in other dosage forms such as lozenges.

How does an allergy occur?

In the case of an allergy, the immune system reacts overly sensitively to generally harmless triggers such as pollen, animal hair or house dust.The body then releases the messenger histamine to fight the foreign substances.Histamine attaches itself to special receptor sites on the cell surfaces (H1 receptors) and causes the typical symptoms of an allergy.Antiallergic drugs such as cetirizine-ADGC® film-coated tablets relieve the symptoms.

Area of application

Cetirizine-ADGC® is indicated for the relief of nasal and ocular symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and for the relief of symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria in adults and children aged 6 years and older.It works quickly and lasts a long time.The active ingredient cetirizine dihydrochloride contained in Cetirizine-ADGC® can begin to alleviate allergic symptoms within half an hour of taking it.

Cetirizine-ADGC® is an anti-allergic drug that helps with various allergic diseases: chronic hives with symptoms such as itching, neurodermatitis with symptoms such as reddening of the skin, allergic rhinitis, hay fever and asthma with an allergic cause.

Mode of action

The active ingredient cetirizine-ADGC® contained in Cetirizine is an antihistamine.If an allergic reaction occurs, the body releases signaling substances, including the tissue hormone histamine.This triggers various reactions: redness, watery eyes, itching and swelling.Cetirizine-ADGC® blocks the binding sites for histamine and thus contributes to alleviating allergic symptoms.
