Description:
OKACET 10 mg Tablet is an antihistamine used for the relief of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, hay fever, and chronic urticaria.

Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase drowsiness in some individuals. Use with caution while driving or operating machinery until the individual response is known. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only on medical advice.
