Non-Drowsy Antihistamine (Cetirizine/Loratadine)
for Hay Fever
Second-generation antihistamines provide good relief for sneezing, itching, and runny nose with minimal sedation. Best taken daily throughout pollen season.
How it works
Block H1 histamine receptors, reducing the allergic cascade triggered by pollen-mast cell interaction. Onset within 30–60 minutes.
What to watch for
Less effective than nasal steroids for congestion. Cetirizine can be mildly sedating in some people despite being classified as non-drowsy. Works best taken prophylactically.
