Rigix Cherry Flavor

Description Rigix 120ml Syrup contains Cetirizine Hydrochloride (5mg/5ml), a second-generation non-sedative antihistamine designed to relieve allergy symptoms. It works by blocking histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions, reducing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. Formulated as a cherry-flavored syrup, it’s ideal for children and adults who find tablets hard to swallow, offering fast-acting relief with minimal drowsiness.
