Ive found a half of small white rectangular pill and the only numbers on it are S-5 , what is it ## Hello, BigCountry! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Northstar RX, the full marking is S 521 and they list it as containing 10mgs of Cetirizine. I have a bottle of these, so the shape you described gave it away. The FDA classifies Cetirizine as an antihistamine, it is available over the counter and is used to treat or prevent allergies. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I give my two yr old relent syrup for wheezing after a bout of cold ## Hello, Arish! How are you? Did the doctor instruct you to do so? With a child this young, it is imperative that you only give them something approved for them by their doctor. It may not be the right medication for their condition, or you could overdose them by not giving them the proper dosage. Relent is listed as containing Cetirizine and Ambroxol, its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA may possibly include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth.

can we use zincold tablets for cold ## Hi chappu, From what I've researched, Zincold contains the three active ingredients Cetirizine + Phenylephrine + Paracetamol, which are marketed for use as an antihistamine, a decongestant, and a pain reliever/fever reducer for treating various symptoms that may be associated with the common cold (such as congestion, sinus pressure, discomfort, etc). So while Zincold wont take the cold away, it looks like its supposed to help with some of the symptoms that often come with a cold. Are you doing anything else to help combat symptoms as well or has the Zincold been working fine on its own? Feel better soon!

Print is only on one side. The other side had nothing. I can usually find what pills they are but am having no luck. Any help appreciated. ## Hi Sam, Is there any chance your pill says "S521" as opposed to 5521? Reason I ask is because I stumbled upon a white rectangular shaped pill (approx. 9mm in size) marked with S 521. This particular pill is identified as a 10mg Cetirizine hydrochloride tablet used for treating cold and allergy symptoms. NOTE: the S and 521 are on the same side of the pill, with the other side being blank. Please post back if you think we might be onto something here. I hope this helps!

If you hvae high blood pressure can you take these two meds at the same time? Or will it cause your blood pressure to go up? ## It actually has nothing to do with using the medications together, they aren't known to cause any interactions. The problem stems from the fact that the Cetirizine is an antihistamine and they, by their very nature, can raise blood pressure. Have you discussed it with your doctor? Its really going to depend on your blood pressure levels and how dangerous it might be for you to use an antihistamine. If your blood pressure is staying at a normal level, so the elevation it may cause won't put you in any danger, your doctor might decide that it is safe for you to take it. However, I know when mine was still somewhat high, they restricted me to only using Be...

Maybe the person who took your cold medicine thinks so, but they are mistaken.

For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## Is it ok to take a 2mg.

I am 16 years old boy.I used okacet tablet three times a day.when i woke up in the morning I found itching in my body.what is the reason? ## Hello, Based on my research, itching isn't a side effect of Okacet tablets (generic Cetirizine).

I'd like to know the interaction of citrizen and a depression pills called ilibioum ## Hi Homesh, I'm sorry but did you mean to say Cetirizine? I haven't found any medication by the name of citrizen, but Cetirizine is an antihistamine used for allergies too, so I'm just double checking here. It looks like ilibioum might also a misspelled version of Librium; would that be correct? As far as safety is concerned between Cetirizine and Librium, drug interactions do list symptoms of drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and even impaired cognitive function. While it doesn't appear to be a life threatening interaction of any kind, it would probably be wise to see how you react to them first before attempting to operate any machinery or drive. I hope this helps!
