The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has warned women against inserting cetirizine tablets into the vagina following misleading social media claims that the allergy medication can cause vaginal dryness or tightening.
In a statement, PPB Chief Executive Officer Dr Ahmed Mohamed said the board had noted with concern the circulation of unverified claims promoting the use of cetirizine for vaginal tightening.
Cetirizine is an antihistamine medication used to relieve allergy symptoms, including allergic rhinitis and urticaria. It is designed for oral administration and should only be taken as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.
