Cetirizine is a 2nd generation antihistamine, which means it does not cause drowsiness in the majority of people.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How can you sell this item for so much less than my local chemist?
We keep our overheads to a minimum, ensure the margins added are fair and work on larger sale volumes than a local chemist. All these measures provide major cost saving benefits to the consumer. Our prices on this medication are based on the non branded version of Zirtek. Zirtek's active ingredient is 10mg Cetirizine which actually provides the desired effects.
2. Does your medication give me the same effect as the branded version?
Absolutely. When a pharmaceutical company develops a drug it is given unique rights to sell it for a number of years. Once that ends any company can make it providing they meet the regulations. Therefore, over the counter drugs have identical medical properties regardless of brand, packaging and advertising.
The key is the ‘active' ingredient - the chemical that actually treats the symptom. Protections and quality control apply equally to all branded and non branded products. The non branded product must meet the same quality standards as the branded version. Packaging may vary, but the items are identical and the results will be the same.
Dr. Chris Steele GP, the resident Doctor on ITV1's This Morning agrees:
“The key is the active ingredient. Look on the brand you know, note the active ingredient and then check it's the same one at the same dose as the generic brand."
Adults and children over 6 years:
The usual dose is one tablet once daily.
Patients with liver or kidney problems: Swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not exceed the daily dose.
These tablets are not intended for children under the age of 6 years.
Each Cetirizine 10mg Tablet contains 10 mg of the active ingredient cetirizine
hydrochloride.
