YENİZİN® Syrup (Cetirizine Dihydrochloride) Uses, Dosage, Side Effects

YENİZİN® 5 mg/5 mL Syrup contains cetirizine dihydrochloride, an antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms. It helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin itching.

Allergies happen when the body releases a substance called histamine. As a result, symptoms such as swelling, itching, and irritation appear. However, cetirizine blocks histamine receptors. Therefore, it helps control these allergy symptoms.

Doctors commonly prescribe YENİZİN® syrup for allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria (hives). In addition, the syrup form is easy to take. Because of this, it is often used in children.

Furthermore, cetirizine usually causes less drowsiness than older antihistamines. Nevertheless, some people may still feel mild sleepiness. For this reason, patients should follow the recommended dose.

Active Ingredient – Cetirizine Dihydrochloride

The active ingredient in YENİZİN® syrup is cetirizine dihydrochloride.

Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine. It blocks H1 histamine receptors. Consequently, allergic reactions become weaker.

Moreover, the medicine usually starts working within one hour. Its effect can last up to 24 hours. Therefore, many patients only need one dose per day.
