Cetirizine Hay Fever Allergy Relief Tablets 10mg
*Brands May Vary
Fast-Acting Allergy Relief for Adults and Children Over 6
Cetirizine Hay Fever Allergy Relief Tablets offer effective, non-drowsy relief from a wide range of allergy symptoms. Whether you’re struggling with hay fever, dust or pet allergies, or skin reactions like hives, Cetirizine provides long-lasting comfort so you can get on with your day.
Each tablet contains 10mg of cetirizine dihydrochloride, a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine—a substance your body releases during allergic reactions. As a result, it helps reduce symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, itchy throat, and skin rashes.
Price range: £0.90 through £4.99
