Benadryl Allergy One A Day Cetirizine 10mg Tablets - 7 Tablets

Cetirizine 10mg with the Benadryl name on the box: one tablet a day for 24-hour relief from hay fever, dust and pet allergies, and itchy skin allergies such as hives. Non-drowsy for most people, quick to start, and one of the two antihistamines UK pharmacists reach for first. The 7-tablet pack is a week — a first try, a short trip, or the odd bad week. Adults and children 12+.

If you've never taken cetirizine, a week tells you whether it controls your symptoms without making you sleepy. It's also the right size for a weekend away, a garden party season that only bites for a few days, or the handbag emergency supply.

Adults and children over 12: one tablet once a day, swallowed with water, at the same time each day through the season. Don't take more than one in 24 hours. Check how it affects you before driving — a minority feel a little sleepy.

Cetirizine is the stronger, slightly-more-sedating sibling of loratadine and the everyday alternative to fexofenadine. It's a good choice for itchy skin and hives as well as hay fever. Ask a pharmacist first if pregnant, breastfeeding, or you have kidney problems.
