User Reviews for cetirizine oral

Always effective without side effects

Took this medication as directed by my physician and it seemed to be working fine. Then I really started to notice that I was becoming more lethargic and if I took it close to bed time, I would quite often have trouble sleeping (despite feeling tired, I would lie awake in bed for hours some times). Not sure if it is related, but I have noticed that my overall feeling of health has become worse over the past year or so. i have been taking this for about 3 and 1/2 years now. One a day for that whole time. Just stopped taking it about three days ago and already notice more energy (slightly) but more importantly to me, sounder sleep. I would suggest someone try or consider other medications prior to using this.Read More Read Less

My doctor gave me the prescription for Zyrtec to take to help with allergies for both indoor and outdoor, to relieve watery eyes, sneezing, etc. They said to take for 2 weeks to see any results. I took the medication for the 2 weeks, no problems. I continued to take the meds, still no problem. I did get sick starting about the 3rd to 4th week. I didn't associate that the meds would be the problem. I continuted to take it and kept getting sick. Nauseated to the point that I would vomit. And it is rare if I vomit. I also had symptoms of fatique/tired and most recently dizziness. And this didn't occur until after I had taken the medication. Finding the side effects and others with the same side effects, I now know that is not something else other than this medication. I'll see if there is something else that can be done for the allergies other than taking Zyrtec/Cetirizine.Read More Read Less

This drug tend to make me drowsy and tired.I find It to be better than Loratadine for drying Mucus. Best to take early evening.

We first tried this in a lower dose and it did nothing for my daughter but when her Doctor was able to up the dosage it became much more effective. It doesn't contain all of her allergy symptoms but makes her life more managable. I do notice that she itches more when we take her off of it for awhile, so I would say it does nothing for long-term relief.

Used for Allergies and Cough, works great but does make me drowsy with a relaxing effect.

Almost instant relief.

had a bad reacts to this had dizziness elevated bp and abnormal heart rhythm

It has helped the inside of my nose.It was dry build up in my nose.

its fair enough to treat my son's allergy
