Drug Interactions

There are no known significant interactions.

Pregnancy Considerations

The amount of cetirizine absorbed systemically following ophthalmic administration is significantly less than when administered orally. If ophthalmic agents are needed during pregnancy, the minimum effective dose should be used in combination with punctal occlusion to decrease potential exposure to the fetus (Samples 1988).

Refer to the Cetirizine (Systemic) monograph for additional information.

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if cetirizine is present in breast milk following ophthalmic administration. When administered orally, cetirizine enters breast milk. The amount of cetirizine absorbed systemically following ophthalmic administration is significantly less than when administered orally. According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should take into account the risk of exposure to the infant and the benefits of treatment to the mother. Refer to the Cetirizine (Systemic) monograph for additional information.

Mechanism of Action

Selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist for topical ophthalmic use.
