CHILDREN'S CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE HIVES RELIEF vs DISOMER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cetirizine is a selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It inhibits the H1 receptor, reducing histamine-mediated effects such as edema, flare, and pruritus.
Selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist; also blocks alpha-1 adrenergic, histamine H1, and muscarinic M1 receptors.
5 mg or 10 mg orally once daily; maximum 10 mg per day.
Adults: 1 mg orally once daily.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 8.3 hours in healthy adults; prolonged to ~20 hours in renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
12–15 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 30–40 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Approximately 70% of the dose is excreted unchanged in urine via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; about 10% is eliminated in feces.
Renal: 80% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: 15% as metabolites; <5% unchanged in feces.
