Teczine 10 Tablet

Product Introduction

Teczine 10 Tablet is a medication commonly prescribed for the relief of allergic symptoms. The active ingredient in this tablet is cetirizine hydrochloride, an antihistamine that helps in managing allergy-related conditions. Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine known for its effectiveness in reducing symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose caused by allergic rhinitis or other allergic reactions. Teczine 10 Tablet is available in a dosage strength of 10 mg, making it a convenient option for patients needing moderate to severe allergy relief.

Uses of Teczine 10 Tablet

Teczine 10 Tablet is primarily used for the treatment of allergic conditions. It is effective in managing:

• Allergic Rhinitis: This includes both seasonal (hay fever) and perennial (year-round) allergic rhinitis. Symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
• Urticaria (Hives): Cetirizine helps in reducing the itching and rash associated with chronic urticaria. Urticaria is characterized by raised, itchy welts on the skin.
• Other Allergic Conditions: It can also be used for other allergy-related symptoms, including allergic conjunctivitis, which causes redness and itchiness in the eyes.

The medication works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that is involved in allergic reactions. By doing so, it alleviates the symptoms associated with allergies.
