cetirizine dihydrochloride (1mg/ml) for allergy

I've been using this medicine for ages. I always take it before I go to bed because that's supposed to make you feel less tired, but it doesn't seem to work for me. But this pill is really effective against the allergy.

cetirizine dihydrochloride (10mg) for hayfever

Used this for our son. One hour after taking it he fell asleep, at 6pm, felt sick and had a headache. I think it's a terrible drug and I've thrown it all in the rubbish bin. Never using this again!

cetirizine dihydrochloride (10mg) for allergy

Absolutely useless. It just made my allergies worse. In one and a half years I had three anaphylactic shocks, all three of which were life threatening. Switched to fexofenadine.

cetirizine dihydrochloride (10mg) for itch

For years I have suffered with itchiness for no apparent reason. Been prescribed pretty much every salve out there but I've now been on sertraline for a year and I can finally sleep a bit better thanks to the reduced itchiness.

cetirizine dihydrochloride (10mg) for hayfever

I've been taking cetirizine for hayfever for years. It reduces my symptoms. It does make me quite drowsy though. So I take it before I go to bed. It works for 24 hours.

cetirizine dihydrochloride (10mg) for allergy

For hayfever, changes in the weather, food allergies, etc. Struggle with sleepiness, mostly in the beginning. But because I also take other medicines I also have side effects from them. It's fine.
