cetirizine and Allergic Conjunctivitis

cetirizine has been researched along with Allergic Conjunctivitis in 23 studies

Cetirizine: A potent second-generation histamine H1 antagonist that is effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria, and pollen-induced asthma. Unlike many traditional antihistamines, it does not cause drowsiness or anticholinergic side effects.
cetirizine : A member of the class of piperazines that is piperazine in which the hydrogens attached to nitrogen are replaced by a (4-chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methyl and a 2-(carboxymethoxy)ethyl group respectively.

Trial Outcomes

Likert Score Rating Global Sedation

"Likert score range 1 to 9 (no sedation to extreme sedation). Highers scores indicate increased sedation. This was measured on days days 5, 12, 17, 24, 29, and 36 of the study.~This was mean data for all interventions." (NCT00826943)
Timeframe: duration of study (36 days)

Modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale

"Epworth Sleepiness Scale ratings (0 to 24); higher scores = increased sedation. This was measured over the 36 days of the study (at the end of each washout period and each intervention period); measured on days 5, 12, 17, 24, 29, and 36.~This was mean data for all interventions." (NCT00826943)

Total Four Symptom Scores (Allergy Symptoms)

"Total Four Symptom Scores (TFSS) ranging 0 to 12. Increased scores indicate increased symptoms. This was measured on days 5, 12, 17, 24, 29, and 36 of the study. The mean TFSS for patients receiving placebo, cetirizine, and levocetirizine was then calculated.~This was mean data for all interventions." (NCT00826943)
