PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

The blocker of histamine H 1 -receptors.
Cetirizine is a competitive antagonist of histamine, with almost no anticholinergic and antiserotonin action. Has a pronounced anti-allergic effect, prevents development and facilitates the course of allergic reactions. Has antipruritic and anti-exsudative effect. Affects the early stage of allergic reactions, and also reduces the migration of inflammatory cells; oppresses the selection of mediators involved in a late allergic reaction. Reduces the permeability of capillaries, prevents the development of edema of tissues, relieves spasm of smooth muscles. Eliminates the skin reaction to the administration of histamine, specific allergens, and also to cooling (with cold urticaria). In therapeutic doses, it practically does not have a sedative effect. Against the background of the course, tolerance does not develop.
The effect of the drug begins in 20 minutes (in 50% of patients), after 1 hour (95%
patients) and is maintained for 24 hours.
PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction

After ingestion, cetirizine is rapidly and well absorbed from the digestive tract.
C max is determined after about 30-60 minutes. Eating does not have a significant effect on the amount of absorption, but in this case, the rate of absorption is slightly reduced.
Distribution

Binding to plasma proteins is approximately 93%.
The value of V d is low (0.5 l / kg), the preparation does not penetrate into the cell. The drug does not penetrate the BBB. Excreted in breast milk.
Metabolism

Cetirizine is poorly metabolized in the liver with the formation of an inactive metabolite.
When applied at a dose of 10 mg for 10 days, there is no accumulation of the drug.
Excretion

After a single dose of a single dose, T 1/2 is about 10 hours. 70% of the dose is excreted by the kidneys mainly unchanged.
The system clearance is about 54 ml / min.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

In children aged 2 to 12 years, T 1/2 decreases to 5-6 hours.

Against the backdrop of chronic diseases and in elderly patients there is an increase in T 1/2 by 50% and a decrease in clearance by 40%.

In case of renal dysfunction (CC below 11-31 ml / min) and in hemodialysis patients (QC less than 7 ml / min), T 1/2 increases 3 times, the clearance decreases by 70%.

Hemodialysis is ineffective.

INDICATIONS

- seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis;

- itching allergic dermatoses;

- Pollinosis (hay fever);

- urticaria (including chronic idiopathic);

- Quincke's edema.

DOSING MODE

Before using Zodak В® it is necessary to consult a doctor to avoid complications.

The drug is taken orally, regardless of food intake.

Pills

Adults and children over the age of 12 years are prescribed, usually in a dose of 10 mg (1 tab.) 1 time / day.

For children aged 6 to 12 years, Zodak В® is prescribed, as a rule, 10 mg (1 tab.) 1 time / day or 5 mg (1/2 tab.) 2 times / day, morning and evening.

In patients with renal insufficiency, the dose of the drug should be reduced depending on the CK: for KK 30-49 ml / min - 5 mg 1 time / day;
at 10-29 ml / min - 5 mg every other day.
When appointing the drug to elderly patients with renal insufficiency, the dose should be adjusted depending on the magnitude of the SC.

CK for men can be calculated based on the serum creatinine concentration, according to the following formula:

CK (ml / min) = [140 - age (years)]? Body weight (kg) / 72? KK serum.
(mg / dL)
KK for women can be calculated by multiplying the obtained value by a factor of 0.85.

Renal insufficiency KK (ml / min) Dosing regimen

Norm> 80 10 mg / day

Light 50-79 10 mg / day

Average 30-49 5 mg / day

Heavy 10-29 5 mg every other day

Terminal stage - patients on hemodialysis <10 The drug is contraindicated

Patients with a dysfunction only liver function correction dosage is not required.

If you miss the time of taking the drug accidentally , the next dose should be taken as soon as possible.
In the event that the time of the next administration of the drug is approaching, the next dose should be taken on schedule, without increasing the total dose.
Zodak В® can be taken regardless of the time of ingestion.

Tablets, coated with a shell, should be swallowed whole, washed down with a small amount of water.

Drops

Before taking the drop, dissolve in water.

Adults and children over the age of 12: 10 mg of cetirizine (20 drops) 1 time / day, daily, preferably in the evening.

Children aged 6 to 12 years: 10 mg cetirizine (20 drops) 1 time / day or 5 mg cetirizine (10 drops) 2 times / day, morning and evening.

Children aged 2 to 6 years: 5 mg cetirizine (10 drops) 1 time / day or 2.5 mg cetirizine (5 drops) 2 times / day, morning and evening.

Children aged 1 to 2 years: 2.5 mg (5 drops) 2 times / day.

In patients with renal insufficiency , the recommended dose should be reduced by a factor of 2.

In patients with impaired liver function, the dose of cetirizine should be somewhat reduced to 5 mg (10 drops) per day.

In elderly patients, patients with normal renal function are not required to adjust the dose.
