Hi,

Thank You for your query.

1. Reactine is an OTC product which contains Cetirizine which is a second generation anti-histamine and an excellent anti-allergy drug.

2. Cetirizine is widely used throughout the world. However, it may cause drowsiness in about 20% of patients and hence caution is advised against driving or operating machinery. Dryness in the nose , mouth and throat is another common side effect.

3. You have not mentioned any more details such as her age, symptoms, supportive treatment and so on.

4. If you review the questions and their answers on this site, you will realize that this is not a site with q@#$$% : )

5. I hope this free answer restores your faith in some doctors and a large part of humanity.

Regards.
