First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares the standard dose of cetirizine (10 mg daily) to a higher dose (40 mg daily) for treating acute hives in adults. Researchers want to see if the higher dose relieves symptoms faster and reduces the need for steroid rescue medication. Participants take the assigned dose for 7 days and track their symptoms daily.
