CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTIONS: Cetirizine, a human metabolite of hydroxyzine,
is an
antihistamine; its principal effects are mediated via selective
inhibition of peripheral H
receptors. The antihistaminic activity of cetirizine has been clearly
documented in a
variety of animal and human models. _In vivo _and _ex vivo _animal
models have shown
negligible anticholinergic and antiserotonergic activity. In clinical
studies, however, dry
mouth was more common with cetirizine than with placebo. _In vitro
_receptor binding
studies have shown no measurable affinity for other than H receptors.
Autoradiographic studies with radiolabeled cetirizine in the rat have
shown negligible
penetration into the brain. _Ex vivo _experiments in the mouse have
shown that
systemically administered cetirizine
