Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or hives. Seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen despite taking cetirizine.
Schedule a doctor’s appointment if your symptoms persist for more than a week. Don’t hesitate to contact your physician if your symptoms don’t improve after the recommended dosage period. This is especially crucial if you’re using cetirizine for a chronic condition.
Consult your doctor before using cetirizine if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or are taking other medications, particularly sedatives or other antihistamines. This interaction check is vital to avoid potential side effects.
Always inform your doctor about any other health conditions you have, including pregnancy or breastfeeding. Cetirizine use during these periods requires careful consideration and medical supervision.
