CZ 3 Tablet

CZ 3 Tablet is an oral cetirizine tablet used to relieve allergy symptoms. Each CZ 3 Tablet contains cetirizine as labelled, an antihistamine that helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching from allergies. It is used for seasonal allergies, year-round allergies, and some hives-related itching. This Lupin, India product is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Cetirizine blocks histamine, a natural chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction. In this tablet form, it is swallowed and absorbed into the bloodstream to help calm allergy symptoms throughout the day.

CZ 3 Tablet is the exact tablet strength shown on the pack, so it should be used only as directed by a clinician who has decided this dose fits the patient’s needs. Compared with lower-strength cetirizine options, this tablet is meant for people who need this specific amount per dose rather than a smaller dose. Because it is a standard swallow tablet, it is a good fit for patients who can take tablets whole with water and want simple once-daily allergy relief.
