Quzyttir

Quzyttir (cetirizine) is used to treat hives that can sometimes return over a period of 6 weeks. It can be used in people 6 months of age and older. However, it isn't recommended for children younger than 6 years old who have kidney or liver problems.

Quzyttir (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that works by blocking a chemical in your body called histamine. Histamine normally gets released in your body to defend against substances called allergens. This triggers an allergic reaction that can include hives. By blocking histamine, Quzyttir (cetirizine) can help relieve hives.

The typical dose of Quzyttir (cetirizine) will depend on your age and sometimes the severity of your hives. It's always given through an intravenous (IV) injection once every 24 hours on an as-needed basis. The injection through your vein will take about 1 to 2 minutes, and it's typically given by a trained healthcare provider.

Quzyttir (cetirizine) doesn't have many common side effects. In clinical studies, fewer than 1% of people who received the medication experienced side effects. These side effects included stomach upset, feeling hot, change in taste, headache, numbness or tingling, feeling faint, and excessive sweating. As with most antihistamines, it's possible to feel sleepy after receiving Quzyttir (cetirizine). Be careful doing any activities that require your attention after receiving treatment.
