Tablet Cetrizine 10 mg

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and can appreciate the hives.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to change the antihistaminic and take tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily.
Besides this avoid foods containing artificial colours and preservatives.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
