Reactine Information

Reactine (cetirizine) is a second-generation antihistamine widely used to relieve the symptoms of various allergies. It is highly effective in treating seasonal allergies, such as hay fever, as well as perennial allergies caused by allergens like dust mites and pet dander. The symptoms it relieves include sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, and an itchy nose and throat. Reactine is also indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) and the associated itching. Unlike older, first-generation antihistamines, Reactine is considered non-drowsy at recommended doses. However, some individuals may still experience mild sedation.

The mechanism of action for cetirizine involves the selective blocking of the histamine H1 receptor. Histamine is a key chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction, and its interaction with H1 receptors is responsible for the classic symptoms of allergies. By blocking these receptors, Reactine prevents histamine from triggering the allergic response, thereby reducing inflammation and symptoms. It has a high affinity for the H1 receptor and a rapid onset of action, with effects often noticed within one hour. Because it is a second-generation antihistamine, it does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier at therapeutic doses, which is why it causes significantly less sedation than first-generation antihistamines like diphenhydramine.

In Canada, Reactine is available over-the-counter in various formulations, including tablets, chewable tablets, and liquid gels. The standard dose for adults and children 12 years of age and older is 10 mg once daily. For children aged 6 to 11, the dose is typically 5 mg to 10 mg once daily. It provides 24-hour relief, making a once-daily dose convenient for most patients. It can be taken with or without food, as food does not significantly impact its absorption or effectiveness.
