Allergy – an overreaction of the body
In the case of an allergy, the immune system reacts inappropriately violently to rather harmless substances such as animal hair or, in the case of hay fever, to pollen. The body tries
to capture these “invaders” and render them harmless. If "invaders" are caught, messenger substances such as histamine are released. These trigger small inflammations and widen the blood vessels. Depending on where this happens, there are different allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes or skin reactions.

How Cetirizin HEXAL® helps with allergies
Antihistamines such as cetirizine block the histamine receptor and thus prevent the development of typical allergy symptoms such as itching, a runny nose or itchy eyes. The active ingredient cetirizine dihydrochloride contained in Cetirizin HEXAL® for allergies can relieve the allergic symptoms within half an hour after ingestion.

Hives Itching
, redness, rashes or hives are typical skin allergic reactions to allergens that come into direct contact with the skin or that have entered the body through food.

CHRONIC ALLERGIC COLDS
Allergens that enter the body through the air, such as animal hair or dust mite excretions, often trigger an allergic cold. The nasal mucosa swells, the nose gets blocked, starts to run and itches.

HAY FEVER (POLLEN ALLERGY)
It is typical for hay fever that it worsens during the pollen season when the weather is nice, especially during the day. Prolonged rainfall, on the other hand, leads to an improvement in symptoms. Common symptoms are a runny, itchy nose, sneezing and red, watery eyes.

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient helps with allergies and calms the itching. It suppresses the effect of the body's own substance histamine and also the prostaglandins in two ways: firstly, it inhibits the release of the substances from the mast cells (special defense cells) of the blood and tissue; secondly, it displaces the substances from their binding sites. As tissue hormones and messenger substances, histamine and prostaglandins play an important role in the development of inflammation and allergic reactions.
