Question 1

how often can i take reactine extra strength allergy pill?

Accepted Answer

Once a day: I believe you are referring to one of the generic Cetirizine products.  There are so many names for this medication depending on the store where you purchased it.  Cetirizine is a once a day medication.

Question 2

i'm 16 years old and deal with severe seasonal allergies. can i take extra strength reactine before i go to bed daily? the box says every 24 hours.

Accepted Answer

Take once daily: Reactine dosage is once daily.  So you can take it at bedtime daily.

Question 3

i'm currently living in paraguay and i take zyrtec and flonase everyday for allergies. this week i added a pill with sudafed and claritin in it to clear up extra sinus trouble from a cold, but now i'm having stomachaches and trouble sleeping.

Accepted Answer

Pseudoephe: Insomnia is a common side effect from pseudoephedrine and I have not recommended it use for at least a decade. Be sure to aim the Flonase towards the sides of the nose and not in the center and see if this works better. If not, time to see a doctor to see if you may have a sinus infection.

Question 4

i took tylenol extra strength and zyrtec this morning due to allergies. had some inflammation so i switched to asprin and am now taking pepcid ac for acid reflux. just curious if it is okay to take all of these in the same day for my issues today?

Question 5

have terrible spring allergy.took zyrtec half a pill(5mg) yesterday morning and then another half of it(5mg) before bed. today morning i took a whole pill(10 mg). did i do a right thing or should have i waited until tonight to take a new dose?

Accepted Answer

: The usual dose of Zyrtec for adult is 10 mg once daily.  In case of inadequate control of allergy symptoms, you may add a nasal spray of Flonase (fluticasone).

Question 6

is it ok to take zyrtec (cetirizine) allergy pills every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If needed they may be taken everyday. Atarax (hydroxyzine) has been used for over 60 years and other than drowsiness & constipation is quite safe. When you take Hydroxyzine it is coverted to Cetirizine in your body. So people have been taking zyrtec (cetirizine) safely for 60 years.

Question 7

can u take zyrtec (cetirizine) and quick trim extreme burn? looking for a good diet pill but i take zyrtec (cetirizine) for allergies

Accepted Answer

Should be fine: Most diet aids do not interefere with antihistamines.  I would caution against using zyrtec (cetirizine) -d or any decongestant and a diet supplement.

Question 8

i have had a runny and stopped up nose since tuesday i've tried cvs allergy pills then switched to 24hr zyrtec, (cetirizine) is there anything else i can take?

Accepted Answer

See details: Forget antihistamines. You have a viral not an allergy. Try a decongestant such as Sudafed.

Question 9

i am trying xyzal for allergies. since starting it i wake up every morning with post nasal drip, itchy eyes, nose and throat and am sneezing all day. can i take zyrtec d 12 hours after xyzal? i know xyzal is a 24 hour pill?

Accepted Answer

: Fundamentally the same medicine - both antihistamines, one lasts slightly longer than the other. Like “mixing” Shell and Exxon gas in your car.

Don’t waste the money. Check with doctor for truly alternative classes of medicine

Question 10

can i take an extra seasonal allergy medicine if one dose of zyrtec (cetirizine) a day is not helping enough?

Accepted Answer

Not advised: You should not take an extra dose of any once a day medication. In this case see your allergist or primary doctor to decide what medication(s) you can take, in addition to or instead of what you are taking now.
