Question

I'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). Additionally, if the hivesUrticaria are severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe a short course of corticosteroids like Prednisone for a few days to help control the inflammation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with any medication.
