User Reviews for Zyrtec oral

I was on Benadryl for years. One pill is much better than six pills so my stomach tells me. The 24 hour deal just doesn't let you down so fast or make you so drowsy.

I have had ceder allergy's for twenty-five years this is the firtst year it didn't bother me. this medicine is wonderful

I've tried every other antihistamine sold in the U.S. (prescription and OTC), and Zyrtec is the only one that is 100% effective for controlling my year-round allergies. I'm so happy it's now OTC and generic! I can buy almost a year's worth for what it cost me in just one month's copay for the prescription. Zyrtec has given me back my normal life.

I just bought the D version the previous day to take it to cope with just a chronic stuffy nose (mold/mildew allergies). It did work some, but it pretty much knocks me out AND has made the right side of my tongue/lips go numb/tingly (like novacain) and feel enlarged. I've only taken it twice but it has done it both times, so I know it is not something that I am subconsciously doing. So I won't be taking it anymore. Not worth it.

I've had chronic hives for 4 years now and thank goodness for Zyrtec, it's been my lifesaver.

I have multiple protein-oriented food allergies and Zyrtec is the only antihistamine that works for these allergies. Thank God that it is now OTC.

did not make any difference with my son's nasal congestion and cough.

this is the only allergy medicine that has worked for me and know they have it avaliable without a perscription.

I love this stuff and am uber excited it's OTC. My insurance was charging me 45$ for 30 pills (they wanted me to take Claritin but that stuff makes me jittery and is nowhere near as effective) and I grabbed it on sale (plus a coupon) from Walgreens for 15.99$ for 30 pills. Hooray for feeling better for almost 1/3 of the price. I will say that when I first started taking it I had to cut it in half and take a half in the a.m. and the other before bed. Now I'm fine with a whole one in the morning. Read More Read Less

This medicine is great.... why did they have to make it OTC?

My six year old daughter takes this in combonation with cingular and advair. She used to be an itchy, runny, asthmatic mess. She is now a normal child and no one ever guesses that she has any health conditions. She is even around cats on a daily basis with no reaction.

If you decide to give zyrtec to your child, please watch for potential side effects closely. We experienced a marked increase in anger/screaming with our normally gentle child (because zyrtec in full dosage made our child very tired.) We cut back the daily dosage in half after working with our doctor and it still controls the sneezes without making him tired. Also complained of a stomach ache with/full dose.

This medication gave me back my life. I was experiencing uncontrollable itching from a condition known as Urticaria. Could not go anywhere. This stopped it immediately with no side effects.

This has worked great for my year tound allergies. I take this with my singular to help get relif during the sever allergy seasons.

Great Product!!! A Lifesaver for my crazy Itching!!

Took this for my awful seasonal allergies, and it was sweet relief. Only strange thing I noticed was that every time I was forced to stop taking it (if I ran out for several days), my whole body became very itchy. But this didn't happen as long as I kept taking it regularly.

not a very good med when dr gives it to you4 4 coughing

My five year old started zyrtec and he now complains of sporadic deep, sharp pain in his upper left arm and feet. He cries and awakes from sleep with pain. Is this possibly the zyrtec?

Works great for my year-round allergies! 10mg at night and Claritin in the morning works for me. Haven't noticed any side effects. Highly recommend!
