Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialDouble-blind multicenter study on the efficacy and tolerability of cetirizine compared with oxatomide in chronic idiopathic urticaria in preschool children.
There are no studies on the use of cetirizine in children under the age of 6. ⋯ The results of the present study suggest that cetirizine may represent an effective and safe pharmacologic therapy for chronic urticaria in preschool children. There was no evidence for changes in hematochemical and urinary values, demonstrating the safety and the tolerability of the two antihistamines, even when given to young children.
