Sinusitis is often accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, postnasal drip, and headache. Cetirizine hydrochloride dispersible tablets are antihistamines primarily used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria, including sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin itching. For patients with sinusitis accompanied by postnasal drip and cough, cetirizine hydrochloride dispersible tablets can effectively alleviate related symptoms.

However, during medication, it is important to follow the dosage and frequency prescribed by your doctor. Monitor your response after taking the medication. If mild adverse reactions occur, such as drowsiness, sleepiness, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, or gastrointestinal discomfort, they are usually transient and not a cause for concern. However, if symptoms persist, worsen, or other symptoms develop, seek medical attention promptly.
