There are specific as well as general uses of a drug or medicine. A medicine can be used to prevent a disease, treat a disease over a period or cure a disease. It can also be used to treat the particular symptom of the disease. The drug use depends on the form the patient takes it. It may be more useful in injection form or sometimes in tablet form. The drug can be used for a single troubling symptom or a life-threatening condition. While some medications can be stopped after few days, some drugs need to be continued for prolonged period to get the benefit from it.

Alci is used to treat symptoms of allergic conditions such as allergic fever (hay fever), year-round allergies like dust or pet allergies and chronic nettle rash.

What other drugs will affect Alci?

Drug interaction studies have been performed with racemic cetirizine.

Antipyrine, Azithromycin, Cimetidine, Erythromycin, Ketoconazole, Theophylline and Pseudoephedrine: Pharmacokinetic interaction studies performed with racemic cetirizine demonstrated that cetirizine did not interact with antipyrine, pseudoephedrine, erythromycin, azithromycin, ketoconazole and cimetidine. There was a small decrease (approximately 16%) in the clearance of cetirizine caused by theophylline 400 mg dose. It is possible that higher theophylline doses could have a greater effect.

Interactions with Other Medicaments:

No interaction studies have been performed with Alci (including no studies with CYP3A4 inducers); studies with the racemate compound, cetirizine demonstrated that there were no clinically relevant adverse interactions (with pseudoephedrine, cimetidine, ketoconazole, erythromycin, azithromycin, glipizide and diazepam). A small decrease in the clearance of cetirizine (16%) was observed in a multiple-dose study with theophylline (400 mg once a day); while the disposition of theophylline was not altered by concomitant cetirizine administration.

The extent of absorption of Alci is not reduced with food, although the rate of absorption is decreased.

In sensitive patients the simultaneous administration of cetirizine or Alci and alcohol or other CNS depressants, may have effects on the central nervous system, although it has been shown that the racemate cetirizine does not potentiate the effect of alcohol.
