Allercet Tablet

Allercet Tablet is a cetirizine tablet made by Micro Labs, India, used to relieve allergy symptoms. Each tablet contains cetirizine hydrochloride as labelled and belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class. It is commonly used for symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching from allergies or hives. Allercet Tablet helps control symptoms but does not cure the underlying allergy.

How it works: Cetirizine blocks histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. By stopping histamine from attaching to its receptors, Allercet Tablet helps reduce itching, swelling, sneezing, and a runny nose.

This Allercet Tablet strength is a standard oral tablet form, so it suits people who can swallow tablets and want a convenient once-daily allergy medicine. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed in this brand line, the exact dose on the pack should be followed as prescribed for your age and condition. A doctor may choose cetirizine tablets like Allercet Tablet when a non-drowsy or less-sedating antihistamine option is preferred, though some people can still feel sleepy.

• Seasonal allergies (hay fever)
• Year-round allergic rhinitis
• Itchy, watery eyes from allergies
• Sneezing and runny nose
• Hives (urticaria) and itching

• Swallow Allercet Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it once daily at the same time if your doctor tells you to use it regularly.
• You may take it with or without food; food does not usually change how it works much.
• If it makes you drowsy, taking it in the evening may be easier, but follow your prescriber’s advice.
• Do not take extra tablets to treat a sudden flare unless your doctor has told you to do so.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Allercet Tablet provides the cetirizine strength stated on the pack, taken as a single oral tablet. Cetirizine is often used once daily, but the exact frequency and maximum daily dose depend on the person, their age, kidney function, and the reason for treatment. Your doctor decides the right schedule for this specific strength, and you should not exceed the prescribed daily amount.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
