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.

Hay fever (pollen allergy)

Hay fever is common and is seasonally restrictive and stressful for those affected, especially when the weather is nice.It is triggered by pollen from grasses, trees and bushes to which the immune system reacts hypersensitively.The result is problems with the respiratory tract and mucous membranes.

Hives

Hives is a skin disease that significantly reduces the quality of life.It occurs with severe itching and hives.The triggers can be varied, from food intolerances to medications, allergies, external influences such as sun and cold or even a completely unknown cause.

Animal hair & house dust allergy

Allergic runny nose can also occur in contact with animals or house dust.Both animal hair allergy and house dust allergy usually manifest themselves through respiratory and skin symptoms.In contrast to pollen allergies, they occur all year round and therefore represent a continuous problem for those affected.
