ZyrtecThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Zyrtec but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Zyrtec (when available) Cetirizine, the active metabolite of the piperazine H1-receptor antagonist hydroxyzine, is used to treat chronic idiopathic urticaria, perennial allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, physical urticaria, and atopic dermatitis. For the relief of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis, perennial allergic rhinitis and the treatment of the uncomplicated skin manifestations of chronic idiopathic urticaria Mechanism Of Action: Cetirizine competes with histamine for binding at H1-receptor sites on the effector cell surface, resulting in suppression of histaminic edema, flare, and pruritus. The low incidence of sedation can be attributed to reduced penetration of cetirizine into the CNS as a result of the less lipophilic carboxyl group on the ethylamine side chain.CetirizineZyrtec.txt" -->Brand Names/Synonyms: Zyrtec is also known by the following brand names and/or synonymsAlerlisin; CHEMBANK1856; Cetirizina [Spanish]; Cetirizine; Cetirizinum [Latin]; Cetrizine Hcl; Cetryn; Formistin; Hitrizin Film Tablet; Reactine; Setir; Virlix; Ziptek; Zirtek; Zyrlex; Zyrtec Drug Category: Zyrtec is categorized under the following by the FDA: Anti-allergic Agents; Antihistamines; ATC:R06AE07; ATC:R06AE09 Dosage Forms: tablets Absorption: mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 114 ng/mL at a time (Tmax) of 2.2 hours postdose was observed for cetirizine Interactions: Interactions for Cetirizine: Pharmacokinetic interaction studies with cetirizine in adults were conducted with pseudoephedrine, antipyrine, ketoconazole, erythromycin and azithromycin. No interactions were observed. In a multiple dose study of theophylline (400 mg once daily for 3 days) and cetirizine (20 mg once daily for 3 days), a 16% decrease in the clearance of cetirizine was observed. The disposition of theophylline was not altered by concomitant cetirizine administration. Drug-Drug Interactions: No clinically significant drug interactions have been found with theophylline at a low dose, azithromycin, pseudoephedrine, ketoconazole, or erythromycin. There was a small decrease in the clearance of cetirizine caused by a 400-mg dose of theophylline; it is possible that larger theophylline doses could have a greater effect.
