cetirizine and Chronic Illness

cetirizine has been researched along with Chronic Illness in 74 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

Number of Participants With Adverse Events

Unit of Measure is Safety and Tolerability. The number of participants with adverse events will be compared between the groups using the independent sample t-test (assuming the distribution is normal). (NCT01371877)
Timeframe: 3 month study trial

Interventionparticipants (Number)
High Dose Vitamin D0
Low Dose Vitamin D0

Medication Usage

The Unit of Measure is Efficacy. The primary outcome of this study is to determine if vitamin D supplementation reduces the medication usage in subjects with CUA. Thus, for the outcome of reduction in pills, at 12 weeks, subjects whose pill usage decreases by 2 or more pills per day will be classified as improved. Subjects whose pill consumption did not change or increased will be classified as unchanged. (NCT01371877)
Timeframe: 12 week intervention

Interventionnumber of pills/day (Mean)
Baseline medication usage3 month medication usage
High Dose Vitamin D2.82.0
Low Dose Vitamin D4.64.9

Total Urticaria Severity Score at 3 Months

The Unit of Measure is Efficacy. The Total Urticaria Severity Score (USS) ranges from 0 to 93, higher scores = worse symptoms. This secondary outcome of this study is to determine if high dose vitamin D supplementation improves the urticaria severity score (USS). The change in USS will be compared between the groups using the independent sample t-test (assuming the distribution is normal). Logistic regression and multiple linear regression will be used to adjust for possible confounders. (NCT01371877)
