Zirtek is a branded treatment that uses the active ingredient, cetirizine. Cetirizine is a second generation (non-drowsy) antihistamine that helps with the symptoms of a range of allergic conditions, such as hay fever, pet allergies, eczema and hives.
It comes as a tablet, which you can either take to help you with your symptoms when you’ve been exposed to a trigger (such as pet hair or an insect bite) or daily to prevent symptoms from occurring (like in some summer or spring months when the pollen count is high).
Allergic reactions are when your body incorrectly perceives a substance to be a threat, and as a result produces a chemical called ‘histamine’, which can cause a runny nose, itching, sneezing and rashes.
Antihistamines like Zirtek work by stopping the chemical, histamine, from being produced and causing these allergy symptoms. So, if you’re taking Zirtek to help with conditions like eczema or hives it won’t actively treat it, but rather lessen your itchy and uncomfortable symptoms - which can stop you from scratching your skin.
Zirtek is only available in one dose, so if it’s not working as you’d hoped to treat your symptoms you should talk to our clinician. They might recommend another treatment.
