What Are the Uses of Cetirizine Tablets, and Are There Natural Alternatives? - #15194
I’ve been dealing with seasonal allergies and occasional skin rashes, and my doctor recommended Cetirizine tablets to help with my symptoms. I know that Cetirizine is an antihistamine, but I’m not exactly sure how it works or when it should be used. From what I understand, Cetirizine tablets are commonly used to treat hay fever, hives, and allergic reactions. But do they actually cure allergies, or do they just suppress the symptoms temporarily? I also read that Cetirizine can cause drowsiness in some people, while others don’t feel any side effects at all. How long does it stay in the system, and is it safe to take it daily for long periods? Since I prefer natural remedies, I want to know if there are Ayurvedic or herbal alternatives to Cetirizine tablets. Are there any herbs like Tulsi, Giloy, or Mulethi that work as natural antihistamines without side effects? If anyone has used Cetirizine tablets, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did they help with allergies, and did you experience any side effects?
