How it Works

Generic Zyrtec®, also called cetirizine, stops itching in its tracks by blocking the production of histamine, a natural compound in the body that triggers allergic reactions. Allergens like pollen or dust can cause inflammation that makes eczema symptoms worse. Generic Zyrtec® typically provides relief within 2-3 hours and works best taken at bedtime.
