Zirtek is a 2nd generation non-sedating antihistamine, which means it does not cause drowsiness in the majority of people, as it does not enter the brain.

In an allergic realction histamine is released, which causes the release of other body chemicals, which cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, itching and irritation. The Cetirizine in Zirtek is an antihistamine. The histamine is still released, but the cetirizine blocks histamine H1 receptors, and stops them reacting to the histamine, and prevents the allergic reaction from progressing fully.
