Watch Impact of Allergies on Quality of Life Webinar

In this webinar, Dr. Payel Gupta will discuss the importance of measuring quality of life and ways to assess quality of life impact on allergic rhinitis patients. Kenvue shares Cetirizine clinical data impact on quality of life.

Impact of Allergies on Quality of Life Webinar

Up to 8 in 10 people with allergic rhinitis experience itchy, watery eyes¹

Ocular symptoms reduce patients’ work performance—and their quality of life.2,4 ZYRTEC® provides proven eye symptom relief.3

†ZYRTEC® 10 mg starts working at hour 1 and Claritin® starts working at hour 3, based on first dose on the first day of a 2-day study in 2 pollen chamber studies. Primary endpoint measured mean improvement from baseline in Major Symptom Complex (MSC) severity score. MSC symptoms included runny nose, sniffles, itchy nose, nose blows, sneezes, and watery eyes.

 

‡Based on first dose on the first day of a 2-day pollen chamber study with ZYRTEC® 10 mg vs Allegra® 180 mg at hours 21 to 24. Primary efficacy endpoint was change in total symptom severity score from baseline at hours 21 to 24. Total Symptom Severity Complex score was defined as the sum of self-assessed severity scores of 4 symptoms: runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose/palate/throat, and itchy/watery eyes.
