Zelary tablets contain cetirizine dihydrochloride, a non-sedating antihistamine used for the symptomatic relief of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (including hay fever) and allergic skin conditions like rash, itching, and urticaria (hives) in adults and children aged 6 years and above[1].
Zelary 10 may also help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or burning eyes related to allergies that are seasonal (such as hay fever) or occur all year round[1].
The active ingredient, cetirizine, works by blocking histamine (a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction), thereby reducing symptoms such as sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, itching, runny nose, and hives[2].
Cetirizine is considered a second-generation antihistamine, which means it is less likely to cause drowsiness compared to older antihistamines[4].
Common uses of Zelary tablets include:
- Relief of allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes (caused by allergic rhinitis or hay fever)[1].
- Treatment of allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergy symptoms)[6].
- Treatment and relief of allergic skin manifestations such as rashes, itching, or urticaria (hives)[1].
- Relief for skin reactions caused by insect bites or eczema[6].
- Management of mild skin allergies from food in some cases (as determined by your healthcare provider)[6].
Zelary tablets are generally taken once daily. Dosing and suitability depend on age, health status, and the presence of any kidney or liver conditions. They are not recommended for children under 2 years of age, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider[1].
Always consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting Zelary to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your situation.
