About Instazin Tablet

Instazin Tablet uses include relief of symptoms caused by allergic reactions. It contains Cetirizine, a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine — a chemical released by the body during allergic reactions. This helps reduce sneezing, runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, skin irritation, and other allergy symptoms with generally less drowsiness than older antihistamines.
