General:
The most common form of allergy is hayfever, a seasonal disorder occurring during spring and summer caused by airborne pollens. Typical symptoms include sneezing, runny nose and itchy watery eyes. Other allergies are caused by eating certain foods, by contact with certain drugs or chemicals, or can be caused by house dust mites or animal fur. These reactions are caused by an allergic reaction between the allergen and certain cells in the body. This reaction triggers the release of a number of chemical substances that irritate the body. One of these chemicals is histamine.
There are a number of medicines available for treating allergies, the most common being antihistamines. Some antihistamines also counteract the effects of other irritating chemical substances as well as those of histamine. These are called anti-allergics.
Zyrtec is a rapid acting, non-sedating, once-a-day anti-allergy medicine.
