Accepted Answer

Carefully: Open it very carefully according to the instructions on the box. Otherwise, return to pharmacy and ask them to show you how to open the package.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: zyrtec-d?

Accepted Answer

Decongestant: Zyrtec-d is the combined formulation of zyrtec, (cetirizine) an antihistamine, with the decongestant pseudephedrine. It is used in the treatment of allergies to provide short term and intermediate term relief from symptoms of an acute allergic reaction.

Question 3

please advise if it's bad to take zyrtec-d everyday?

Accepted Answer

No: Zyrtec (cetirizine) d contains an antihistamine (zyrtec) which helps itching, sneezing and drippy nose and a decongestant (sudafed) which helps stuffiness.  Zyrtec (cetirizine) can cause drowsiness in some people.  Sudafed can cause stimulation side effects like tremor, nervousness, insomnia, increased pulse rate and increased blood pressure.  Zyrtec (cetirizine) d should be used with caution in people with heart disease.

Question 4

can i take zyrtec d with eliquis ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can, good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, especially anticoagulants as Eliquis, wish you well

Question 5

does zyrtec-d contain acetaminophen?

Accepted Answer

Zyrtec-d contents: There is no Acetaminophen in zyrtec-d. It is Cetirizine plus pseudoephedrine.

Question 6

zyrtec-d (10 mg) makes it hard for me to sleep. is it okay to cut one in half?

Accepted Answer

Nope.: It's not scored because it is a sustained-release product. "Do not crush, chew or break". Just take cetirizine alone and supplement with a low-dose decongestant if needed during the day (pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine) if you feel stuffed up.

Question 7

can i take zyrtec-d and nyquil cough together?

Accepted Answer

ZyrtecD+Nyquil Cough: I would recommend that you NOT take these medications together at the same time because doing so will be like taking 5 drugs at the same time.  Take the Nyquil Cough before going to bed.    If needed, you can take the Zyrtec (cetirizine) D once daily as needed in the morning. Reserve the Nyquil for just before bedtime.
If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, check with your doctor first.

Question 8

is it ok to take mucinex fast max cold & flu night with zyrtec (not zyrtec d)?

Accepted Answer

Better don&#x27;t: combine them, as the mucinex combo already contains an antihistaminic, may interact with the zyrtec, you can hold the zyrtec till done with the mucinex and the cold symptoms, wish you well

Question 9

hi, am i able to take mucinex sinus max (night) along with my second dose of zyrtec d?

Accepted Answer

No: Both mucinex sinus max and zyrtec d contain pseudoephedrine.  Avoid taking the two together.

Question 10

is it safe to take zyrtec d while pregnant? (about 8w pregnant)

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: ZyrtecD contains a decongestant which is a stimulant. I don't recommend your taking it. I firmly believe that pregnant women not take any medications, including nonprescription ones, without getting an ok from their obstetrician.
