Uses
This combination is indicated for the temporary relief of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis and other upper respiratory allergies, including runny nose, sneezing, itchy watery eyes, nasal congestion, and sinus pressure.
Do not use if
Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to cetirizine, hydroxyzine, or pseudoephedrine. Do not use with or within 14 days of MAOI therapy. Avoid in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, or urinary retention.
Side effects
Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, and insomnia. Pseudoephedrine may cause nervousness, dizziness, increased heart rate, and elevated blood pressure. Discontinue if allergic reactions occur.
Warnings
Avoid use in patients with hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease, glaucoma, or difficulty urinating due to enlarged prostate. Do not exceed recommended dose. Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants. Do not take with other decongestants or antihistamines.
How it works
Cetirizine is a second-generation, non-sedating H1 antihistamine that selectively blocks peripheral histamine receptors. Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine that causes vasoconstriction of nasal mucosa by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors, thereby relieving nasal congestion.
Storage
Store between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
