Cetirizine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Cetirizine is used by people who suffer from allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itchy nose (allergic rhinitis) and itchy eyes. It also has been used to treat hives.
It is also approved to treat itching due to hives, which may or may not be caused by allergies. The medication is also available in combination with a decongestant (see Zyrtec-D for more information). Although Zyrtec and Zyrtec-D were originally prescription products, they are now available without a prescription.
