Brief Answer:
Teczine is cetrizine

Detailed Answer:
Hi, The itching will get better with cetrizine. You can take up to 15mg in 1 day. But not more than that.

If there is a part of your body that is itching very much more.. you can try and use 1% hydrocortisone on the affected area as a topical antihistamine.

Beyond that, you can try Allergra 75mg and Lortab 10mg

But don't take all these medications at once.
