Dr. Gan Liqiang
Cetirizine hydrochloride is an antiallergic medication commonly used to treat pruritus (itching) caused by allergic skin conditions. It is also indicated for patients with urticaria and allergic rhinitis. Cetirizine hydrochloride possesses mild sedative properties, helping to alleviate allergic symptoms. Moreover, it is relatively safe, with minimal effects on the central nervous system and generally mild adverse effects.
