Description
Cetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance produced by the body during allergic reactions. Histamine binds to H1 receptors in the body, causing symptoms such as itching, swelling, and inflammation. Cetirizine specifically targets and inhibits the H1 receptors, thereby preventing the effects of histamine. This reduces the typical allergic symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes, without significantly affecting the central nervous system, making it less sedating than older antihistamines.
