Areas of application

Cetirizine 10 - 1 A Pharma® is used to relieve nasal and eye symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and to relieve hives (urticaria) in adults and children aged 6 years and over.Allergic rhinitis can be triggered by pollen, house dust or animal hair and leads to symptoms such as frequent sneezing, a runny and stuffy nose and red and watery eyes.Hives manifest themselves as itching, redness and swelling of the skin.

Mode of action

Cetirizin 10 - 1 A Pharma® contains the active ingredient cetirizine, an antihistamine.The body's own messenger histamine plays an important role in allergic rhinitis.Through contact with allergens, our body releases increased amounts of histamine, which attaches to histamine H1 receptors and thereby triggers typical allergy symptoms.Cetirizine blocks these receptors, thereby inhibiting the effects of histamine and preventing the development of allergic symptoms.
