FAQs
Q. Does Cetgel Capsule make you tired and drowsy?
Yes, Cetgel Capsule can make you feel tired, sleepy, and weak. If you have these symptoms, you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery.
Q. Is Cetgel Capsule a steroid? What is it used for?
Cetgel Capsule is an anti-allergic medication, not a steroid. It relieves the symptoms of allergy. It is used to relieve runny nose, sneezing and redness, itching, and watering of the eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also relieves similar symptoms caused due to allergies to substances, such as dust mites, animal dander, and mold. It is also used to treat symptoms of hives, including itching and rash.
Q. How long does it take for Cetgel Capsule to work?

Q. Can I take Cetgel Capsule and Fexofenadine together?
Sometimes the doctor may advise you to take two different antihistamines together if you are being treated for a severe itchy rash. If you are taking Cetgel Capsule during the daytime, your doctor may prescribe another antihistamine for the night which causes sleepiness, especially if the itch makes it difficult for you to sleep. Do not take two antihistamines together unless recommended by your doctor.
Q. For how long should I continue Cetgel Capsule?
The duration for which the medicine needs to be taken depends on the problem being treated. If you are taking it for an insect bite, you may need it for a day or two. Similarly, if you are taking it to prevent symptoms of chronic allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) or chronic urticaria, you may need to take Cetgel Capsule for a longer time. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure about the duration of using Cetgel Capsule.
Q. Is it safe to take Cetgel Capsule daily for a long time?
Cetgel Capsule is safe if used as prescribed by your doctor. Moreover, it is unlikely to harm you if you take it for a long time. But, it is best to take Cetgel Capsule for only as long as you need it.
