Cetirizine is a commonly used antihistamine for treating hives/Urticaria. It is safe to take this tablet for relief from symptoms. However, for a more effective and long-term solution, you can consider taking a different class of antihistamines such as Allegra (Fexofenadine). Additionally, if the hives/Urticaria are severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe a short course of corticosteroids like Prednisone for a few days to help control the inflammation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with any medication.
