Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does Hicet start working?

Most people notice relief within about 20 to 60 minutes of taking the tablet, which helps settle sudden allergy symptoms such as sneezing and itching.

How often should I take Hicet 10mg?

The usual dose is one tablet once a day, often in the evening. Follow the dose and timing your doctor has given you.

Does Hicet cause drowsiness?

Yes, sleepiness is one of the common effects. Until you know how it affects you, avoid driving or operating machinery.

Can I take Hicet for a common cold?

It can ease a runny nose or sneezing when these are caused by an allergy. It does not treat the cold virus itself, so do not use it on your own for a viral cold without medical advice.

Should I take Hicet with food or on an empty stomach?

Either way is fine. Taking it with a meal may help if you feel mild stomach discomfort or nausea.

Can I take Hicet for dizziness or vertigo?

No. Hicet is an anti-allergy medicine and is not meant for dizziness or vertigo, unless a doctor has found that the problem is linked to an allergy.

Can Hicet be used for asthma symptoms?

No. Hicet helps with allergy symptoms like a runny nose, itchy eyes and hives, but it does not open the airways, so it will not relieve wheezing or breathlessness. If you have asthma, keep using the inhaler or medicines your doctor prescribed, and talk to your doctor before adding Hicet. Seek medical help right away if you have trouble breathing.
