Cetirizine is a newer 'Antihistaminic drug. It contains two forms one is Levo-Cetirizine and another is Dextro-Cetirizine. Out of which Dextro-Cetirizine is almost ineffective. In recent years, so many 'newer' Antihistaminic drugs are launched and then withdrawn from market. So not to use this drug in infant. From one month to one year of age baby is called as infant. At the end of first month weight of the baby is between 3 to 4 kg. It is going to be tripled at the age of one year. I do not know how can you ask the dose in this much large range of weight. You will be advised to use the old preparations like Clorpheniramine male-ate or diphenhydramine or Promethazine. (Promethazine is long acting.) Above six months you may give 2.5 ml of Promethazine syrup at bed time if baby is irritable due to fever and dose may be added by 1.25 ml hourly twice. Same dose is right for itching also. But always remember that baby cannot talk and you may sedate the baby with some serious illness at hand and give the medicine after your Doctor has examined the baby unless no Doctor is available, specially at night, at your own risk. This will happen very rarely but then you will spend rest of the life in regret.
The generic drug cetirizine is an allergy drug better known by the brand name Zyrtec.

Is it the same as lean
cetirizine
Cetirizine Hcl. is the active ingredient in Allegra now that it is available without a presciption, It is legal, but only when used as directed.
The active ingredient in both pills is the same (Cetirizine). The difference between hydrochloride and dihydrochloride is the difference between the non active ingredients in the pills that are added to the drug so that there is enough bulk to make a pill. The above 'advice' is simply rubbish. Any (old Skool) A-Level chemistry student knows the difference between 'hydrochloride' and 'di-hydrochloride': Not the same molecule.However, in layman's terms: cetirizine di-hydrochloride is the real thing and is less likely to make you drowsy. Cetirizine hydrochloride is a copycat molecule to work around patent laws.From personal experience, cetirizine hydrochloride makes me drowsy, whereas cetirizine di-hydrochloride does not. :-)
