Cetirizine Hydrochloride
The hydrochloride salt of cetirizine is the standard clinical formulation of this second-generation antihistamine, used for once-daily management of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. It is well absorbed orally and primarily eliminated unchanged by the kidneys. Dose reduction is recommended in patients with renal impairment.
