Introduction

Piriteze Cetirizine 10mg Tablets are a reliable and fast-acting non-drowsy antihistamine for the treatment of hayfever, skin allergies, and other allergic conditions. Each tablet contains 10mg of cetirizine dihydrochloride, a long-acting second-generation antihistamine.

This over-the-counter GSL medicine provides all-day relief from common symptoms like sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, runny nose, and skin reactions caused by histamine release during an allergic response.

How It Works

Cetirizine, the active ingredient in Piriteze, works by blocking histamine receptors. Histamine is the chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction that causes redness, swelling, itching, and other allergy symptoms.

As a second-generation antihistamine, cetirizine is less likely to cross into the brain, which means it is much less sedating than older allergy treatments like chlorphenamine. This makes Piriteze ideal for day-to-day use, even when alertness is needed.

Why Choose Piriteze Cetirizine 10mg Tablets

Piriteze offers rapid onset and long-lasting relief from both seasonal and perennial allergies. The once-daily tablet is easy to take and trusted by millions across the UK.
