Professional:

Coadministration with theophylline may decrease the clearance of cetirizine. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. According to the product labeling, a small decrease in the clearance of cetirizine was observed when given with a 400 mg dose of theophylline, and it is possible that larger theophylline doses could have a greater effect. No clinically significant drug interaction has been found with theophylline at a low dose. Steady-state cetirizine (10 mg twice daily for 3.5 days) has also been found to have no significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline (240 mg intravenously one hour after the last dose of cetirizine) in six healthy volunteers compared to placebo, and vice versa.
