Overview & Mechanism of Action

  • Cetriplus Syrup (60ml bottle) is a second-generation $H_1$-receptor antagonist engineered for long-acting, targeted relief from peripheral allergic reactions:
  • Selective Peripheral $H_1$-Receptor Antagonism (Cetirizine HCl): Selectively inhibits peripheral $H_1$ histamine receptors on capillary endothelial cells, sensory nerve endings, and smooth muscle. By blocking endogenous histamine binding, it interrupts the allergic response cascade without significant affinity for central muscarinic, cholinergic, or serotonergic receptors.
  • Inhibition of Inflammatory Mediator Migration: Suppresses the late-phase recruitment of inflammatory cells (specifically eosinophils) to target tissues, reducing vascular permeability, localized tissue swelling, and hyper-reactivity in the nasal mucosa and skin.
  • Low Blood-Brain Barrier Penetration: Poorly crosses the blood-brain barrier compared to first-generation antihistamines, delivering potent anti-allergic action with a significantly lower incidence of central sedation or impairment.

Clinical Indications

  • Cetriplus Syrup 60ml is indicated for:
  • Rapid relief of nasal and ocular symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis (dust, mold, and pet dander allergies)
  • Symptomatic treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives), relieving localized itching, erythema, and wheal formation
  • Management of allergic skin conditions, pruritus, and allergic conjunctivitis
