Zodac 10mg Tab N10

Mechanism of action

Antiallergic drug, histamine H blocker1-receptors. Cetirizine belongs to the group of competitive histamine antagonists. It has a pronounced antiallergic effect, prevents the development and facilitates the course of allergic reactions. It has antipruritic and antiexudative effect. Affects the early stage of allergic reactions, and also reduces the migration of inflammatory cells; inhibits the release of mediators involved in the late allergic reaction. Reduces capillary permeability, prevents the development of tissue edema, relieves spasm of smooth muscles. Eliminates skin reactions to the introduction of histamine, specific allergens, as well as cooling (with cold urticaria).

Practically no anticholinergic and antiserotonin action.

In therapeutic doses, almost no sedative effect. Against the background of admission course tolerance does not develop.

The effect of the drug begins after 20 minutes (in 50% of patients) or after 1 hour (in 95% of patients) and lasts for 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

After oral administration, cetirizine is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax in blood plasma is determined in about 30-60 minutes.Food intake does not have a significant effect on the amount of absorption, but in this case, the rate of absorption decreases slightly.

Distribution

Cetirizine binding to plasma proteins is about 93%. V valued low - 0.5 l / kg. Cetirizine does not penetrate the cell. Does not penetrate the BBB.

Metabolism

Cetirizine is poorly metabolized in the liver to form an inactive metabolite.

With a 10-day use in a dose of 10 mg cumulation is not observed.

Removal

After a single dose of T1/2 is about 10 hours. About 70% is excreted by the kidneys mostly unchanged. The system clearance is about 54 ml / min.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

In children aged 2 to 12 years T1/2 reduced to 5-6 hours

When renal dysfunction (CC from 11 to 31 ml / min) and in patients on hemodialysis (CC less than 7 ml / min), T1/2 increases by 3 times, the clearance is reduced by 70%.

Against the background of chronic diseases and in elderly patients, there is an increase in T1/2 by 50% and decrease in clearance by 40%.

Cetirizine is not excreted by hemodialysis.

Indications

- seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis;

- pruritic allergic dermatosis;

- pollinosis (hay fever);

- urticaria (including chronic idiopathic);

- Quincke swelling.

The drug is prescribed by mouth, regardless of the meal. Before taking the drops dissolve in water.

At renal failure should reduce the recommended dose by 2 times.

At abnormal liver function the dose should be selected individually, reducing it to 5 mg / day or less, with extreme caution with simultaneous renal failure.

Elderly patients with normal renal function dose adjustment is not required.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

The drug is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.

Application for violations of the liver

At abnormal liver function the dose should be selected individually, reducing it to 5 mg / day or less, with extreme caution with simultaneous renal failure

Application for violations of kidney function
