I'm female, 71, and for years have had chronic rhinitis which leads to sinusitis, and bronchitis and worse. I have tried almost every allergy tablet and spray both here and in Germany. Finally, my new, young physician told me that he used Xyzal and gave me a few samples to try. It is the only medicine that has helped. Effective after the first three days. But the best thing of all is that it g...

I have had hives for over 2 years everywhere and my doctor started me on this medication a month ago. It has not changed my hives at all. I still have the same breakouts as well as a lot of new ones.

I've been taking XYZAL for 1 month with no side effects at all. I absolutely love the medicine but sadly my perscription coverage classifies it as a nonformulary drug which makes the co-pay extremely high. Honestly that is my only complaint and only reason for looking at other alternatives.

I have allergies, chronic rhinitis, and allergy-induced asthma. This drug has helped me so much!! I no longer need nose spray to breathe, my sinus drainage has greatly decreased, and my allergies are better! I had dry mouth for a while, but now no side effects!!

My doctor gave me Xyzal for allergies, worked great, just makes me thirsty all the time, I can't drink enough, must drink 8 bottles of water a day, and still want more. The sinusy-stuffy feeling is still there a little bit, but FAR better.

I had a really bad case of sinus infection,and chest congestion.When the Xyzal got into my system I felt 100% better.I have had no side effects from this med.I also suffered from big welts and itching.They would pop up for no reason.The Xyzal cleared it up.It still happens at least 3 or 4 times a week,but I take a Xyzal,and within 15 mins. I have relief.Overall I love this med.

I was diagnosed with Renaud's disease years ago (constricting of the arteries in the fingers). I am also taking Pseudovent, but my fingers are numb indoors now.

Got the warnings about drowsiness, etc. . . but I have had NO side effects at all. I suffered DAILY with serious cat allergies, feeling VERY lethargic every day. Once I started Xyzal, I have had MAYBE five days of allergic reactions since January 3rd (almost two full months of feeling GREAT with Xyzal!). This medication is VERY effective, and I have not even a small bit of drowsiness or nausea from it! YAY! FINALLY! Something that works!

I have chronic uticaria and it does provide relief, but I am so exhausted it almost isn't worth it. I've also experienced fainting spells and have felt like vommitting on occasion. I am thinking about discontinuing use.

Day 3 use. Hard to measure the Xyzal impact since my nose still runs on and off each day and night

After suffering with an unknown cause of hives for almost two weeks, I had immediate relief with the first dose. It's a miracle cure that I hope will last.

This med doesn't seem to be helping my condition at all. Very unsatisfied with the lack of results.

Using XYZAL has assisted in clearing up a severe sinus infection, along with an antibiotic. My head feels clearer and mucous is thinner and either white or clear (instead of green or yellow). This is the first antihistamine that has been successful since I was taken off Hismanol.
