A quick Google revealed a likely reason for the CAA ban on Citirizine!

What side effects can this medication cause? Return to top


Cetirizine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
  • drowsiness
  • excessive tiredness
  • dry mouth
  • headache
  • sore throat
  • stomach pain
  • diarrhea
  • vomiting

Some side effects can be serious. The following symptom is uncommon, but if you experience it, call your doctor immediately:
  • difficulty breathing or swallowing
Cetirizine may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.

Obviously you dont feel you have suffered any of these side effects, but the CAA must act to cover alll eventualities. Hence the ban.
