Very helpful information - wish I had heard it put so clearly years ago.

Thank you for the informative video on antihistamines, especially cetirizine. While you described the adult dosage of antihistamines, it is crucial to note that administering these medications to children under three years old to calm them or stop them from crying can significantly increase the risk of mental retardation in the future. Thank you once again.

Thank you for this valuable piece of information. This video was purposely aimed at adults taking cetirizine, however I am sure that there are parents that will benefit from knowing the risk that you have highlighted.

Thank you for this video. I had no idea of the side effects of this drug. I have been taking for a long time, but want to get off it now.
