- The PSK says cetirizine tablets are meant to be swallowed and have not been tested on delicate vaginal tissue.
- Experts say possible antihistamine-related dryness does not strengthen vaginal muscles and may increase friction, discomfort and tissue injury.

- The PSK cited reports of increased demand, rising prices and shortages at some pharmacies; allergy patients may struggle to obtain cetirizine.
