View allI'm dealing with hives or urticaria every other day and Ive been taking Cetcip 10mg whenever I get these rashes. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using this tablet. Is there a better way to completely cure these hives or urticaria, and what kind of medication should I really be looking at, and for how long?
Cetirizine is a commonly used antihistamine for treating hivesUrticaria. It is safe to take this tablet for relief from symptoms. However, for a more effective and long-term solution, you can consider taking a different class of antihistamines such as Allegra (Fexofenadine).
