Can citrizine make bug bites stop itching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cetirizine? It can.: Yes, in some cases Zyrtec, or cetirizine as a generic, can help with bug bites. Sometimes it's not quite enough, however, and stronger antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or topical medications like hydrocortisone are needed to help.
