Zyrtec Kids contains the active ingredient, cetirizine, which helps to block the production of histamine to relieve symptoms of hayfever and year round allergies. Cetirizine is part of a class of medications called antihistamines.
When your little ones' immune system takes offence to an outside particle or substance, their body produces antibodies to attack this normally harmless substance by releasing a chemical called histamine. Antihistamines work by blocking histamine receptors, keeping their immune system from reacting to the allergen.
Zyrtec Kids provides fast powerful 12 hour relief of hayfever & allergy symptoms, including:
- Sneezing
- Runny, itchy nose
- Red, itchy and watery eyes
- Hives and itchy skin rash
- Post nasal drip
Zyrtec Kids is effective against seasonal hayfever & year round allergy triggers, such as:
- Pollen
- Pet Dander
