Zyrtec and its drug substance Cetirizine Hydrochloride

Zyrtec is the trade name for Cetirizine Hydrochloride. The drug is available in various dosages of 5 mg and 10 mg suitable for different ages and patient preferences.

The main therapeutic effects of Cetirizine Hydrochloride are achieved by blocking or reducing the activity of histamine. This natural substance is responsible for the manifestation of allergic reactions in the human body.

The clinical effectiveness of Zyrtec has been confirmed by numerous studies. This new generation medicine:

  • Minimizes or eliminates allergy symptoms;
  • Helps in the first phase or when an allergy attack has already begun;
  • Provides an anti-inflammatory effect.

Indications for use

Zyrtec may be prescribed in accordance with its licensed indications to people over 6 years of age, suffering from:

  • Chronic (lasting more than 6 weeks) urticaria;
  • Allergic rhinitis of any type (perennial, occupational or seasonal).

Treatment regimens and dosages

Zyrtec is for oral use only.

  • Typical dosage regimen: A 10 mg tablet approximately every 24 hours;
  • Dosage for patients over 6 years of age: A 5 mg tablet twice a day;
  • Dosage regimen for mild symptoms: A 5 mg tablet approximately every 24 hours.

Recommendations for use

To get the most out of the treatment, follow these guidelines:

  • Don't miss taking pills, one dose of 10 mg is enough for 24 hours;
  • Take regular doses at the same time every day;
  • Zyrtec can be taken at any time of the day;
  • If you have a sedative effect (such as weakness), take the tablets in the evening;
  • Don't chew or crush tablets before taking them.

Patients with moderate or severe renal impairment may be given a dose of Zyrtec 5 mg every 24 or 48 hours.

  • Glaucoma;
  • Emphysema;
  • Respiratory problems;
  • Impaired liver or kidney function;
  • Problems with urination.

Be careful if you drive a car until you know how the medicine affects you.

Usually, Zyrtec tablets are not recommended for children under 6 years of age, as this dosage form (tablets) does not allow to adjust the dose.

  • Merton Erickson

    The drug met my expectations.

  • Marius Labriola

    I took Zyrtec for 3 allergy seasons. The first and second years were great, the drug was the solution to all my problems. In the last year, I relaxed a little and did not take pills every day. Because of this, I had a runny nose and itching in the eyes. I increased the dose to 20 mg per day and immediately got nausea, which worsened within 1.5 hours. My verdict: it is a great product but you should take it RIGHT.

  • Jarred Pressley

    Runny nose and red eyes are not even my number one problem, it's strange how differently allergies affect people. Allergies make me very tired and give me a lot of headaches. I give Zyrtec 5 stars because of all the allergy medications it works best.

  • Annmarie Weaver

    Zyrtec is a good drug of the second generation. I take it for my son, he is allergic.

  • Carter Parris

    As for me, it suits me not only by its action, but also by price. I buy only Zyrtec and so far I am satisfied with everything. The drug works great, saves both with seasonal allergies and in emergency cases. On the plus side, it doesn't cause drowsiness.

  • Travis Brent

    I buy only Zyrtec for my child, it deals well with allergies to dust, cats, etc.

  • Rodolphe Corvi

    Good anti-allergic drug. Suitable for children from 6 years of age.

  • Honora Ware

    My allergy symptoms are exhausting, though not as bad as anaphylactic shock. The drug helps when everything blooms and smells. I'm satisfied, I will order Zyrtec online next season as well.

  • Loyd Bellamy

    I've had a terrible allergy since I was 25. Luckily for me, the allergy only appears in the spring. But when it appears, I switch to zombie mode, for several nights I can only sleep a couple of hours. I began to take Zyrtec sticking to one tablet a day for the whole allergy season. Now I even forgot that I had problems.

  • Marcel Paget

    Zyrtec is incredibly good because it works so much better than other medications I have tried.

  • Giles Kipling

    The price for Zyrtec is just super, thank you.

  • Durante Lucas

    Christ! I have never had any allergy. At first, I thought I had something very serious and dangerous. It was so bad, the symptoms were getting out of hand, I thought I was dying. It turned out that I had seasonal allergies, the first in my large family. Allergist prescribed me Zyrtec just 4 days ago. The hives and terrible itching disappeared yesterday, it seems my allergy has gone.

  • Marion Stidolph

    With Zyrtec I feel like a normal person!

  • Baptiste Hintzen

    I've tried a lot of things for over 20 years. For me, Zyrtec is quite effective, like other allergy medications, but it does not cause any side effects. Another important point, you don’t have to wait a few days for Zyrtec to really kick in.

  • Glenn Fox

    My daily dose is 5 mg. I buy Zyrtec 10 mg and split the tablet in half.

  • Ingram Yong

    When you suffer from allergies for weeks and feel terribly exhausted, you start to google and read more to understand something. Now I know a little about allergy medications. Zyrtec is an antihistamine drug of the second generation. It is more reliable, more effective and safer than the drugs of the first generation such as Clemastine. And most importantly, Zyrtec has fewer side effects, such as fatigue and sleepiness. You do not fall asleep while driving. I tested it on myself.

  • Avery Keyes

    The only drug I trust, it allows me to go outside and enjoy the spring weather.

  • Glenna Homewood

    I ordered Zyrtec at this pharmacy for the second time. Everything comes neatly packaged, I'm satisfied with the purchase, thank you.

  • Owen Clarke

    In March I avoid going out, it's good that I work from home. Outdoors and when driving a car, I wear a mask. My wife takes a shower and changes her clothes when she comes home. And this system is effective but not 100% working, pollen gets into the house and my lungs. The doctor advised me Zyrtec, I started taking 10 mg every day. Slightly incomprehensible sensations, the drug relieves allergies, but causes strange mood swings. I want to try changing the dosage. Has anyone taken 5 mg twice a day?

  • Lacy Winton

    I take Zyrtec as needed and I recommend it to anyone with allergies, it will save you from hours of suffering.

  • Dorris Abrams

    I took different allergy medicines, all helped, but none worked 100%. I started taking Zyrtec 10 mg every day and I didn't have high expectations. To my delight, ALL MY ALLERGY SYMPTOMS ARE GONE. Fantastic drug!!! Definitely recommend!
