Virlix (generic name: Cetirizine) is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria. It works by blocking the effects of histamine at the H1 receptor sites. Common side effects include drowsiness, fatigue, and dry mouth. Nurses should assess for allergy symptoms and advise patients to take the medication as directed and avoid activities requiring alertness until they know how the drug affects them. Patients are instructed to contact their healthcare provider if dizziness occurs or symptoms persist.
