Cetirizine is used to treat cold or allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, or runny nose.
ZyrtecŪ is a non-prescription medication used to treat several allergy symptoms, including runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. The drug is also used to treat itching due to hives (which may or not be caused by allergies). Zyrtec works by blocking the effects of histamine -- a chemical in the body that causes sneezing, itching, and irritation when you come into contact with something you're allergic to. While some people take the drug year-round, others take it only during allergy season.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Cetirizine is used by people who suffer from allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itchy nose (allergic rhinitis) and itchy eyes. It also has been used to treat hives.
