Medicine Description histazine-1 10mg
Histazine-1 10mg Oral Drops is a medication that contains cetirizine, an antihistamine that antagonizes the H1 receptors, thereby inhibiting the effects of histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic symptoms. By blocking these receptors, cetirizine reduces the physiological responses associated with allergic reactions, such as vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and sensory nerve stimulation. This results in decreased symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and conjunctival irritation.
