FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS I AM TAKING CETIRIZINE AGAINST THE SNEEZING. BUT NOW I HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT ACID CREATS CANCER. AS CETIRIZINE CONTAINS (HYDROCHLORIDE) ACID, IT MADE ME WORRIED THAT EXCESS OF ACID MIGHT BE ACCUMULATING IN MY BODY THAT MAY BE PAVING THE WAY TO CANCER. IF I STOP CETIRIZINE SNEEZING, WATERING EYES AND NOSE BLOW TAKE PLACE AND MAKES MY LIFE QUALITY DETERIOATE.

Cetirizine is an antihistamine, commonly used to treat allergies and sold under the brand name Zyrtec.
That said, there are tons of things on the market, ranging from prescription medications to over the counter products that they claim can cause cancer, however, this is not proven. If it was proven, then the FDA would remove this from the market in the US.
Some common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness and headache.
While I can't recommend anything specific and do not know your medical history, have you considered alternative therapies? There are many natural treatments available for allergies, or even different medications you should be able to try.
And another challenge is that people still don't know the exact causes of cancer, only things that possibly contribute to it. So I would also suggest maintaining a healthy lifestyle as much as possible, with proper exercise, meditation, eating healthy fresh foods (especially lots of vegetables), etc ...
A doctor should be able to test your body's ph to determine if it is holding high levels of acidity. The good news is that you can help control your body's ph just by eating and drinking the right things.
I hope this information is helpful and wish you the best with this! Please respond if you have any questions or information to add.
