HOW IT WORKS

When confronted with an allergen, your histamines trigger sneezing, coughing, and other symptoms to push the allergens away. Cetirizine (an antihistamine) tells your histamines to settle down.

ALLERGIST ADVICE

Take cetirizine at bedtime. It reaches its max effect after 2 to 3 hours, so you’ll wake up symptom-free.
