Question 3

4 years ago i had hives and took prescription xyzal. hives are back i am taking otc xyzal 5 mg. can i take this twice a day instead of once.

Accepted Answer

Unless I’m mistaken, 5mg daily is the typical dose for that medication.  If it’s not helping, then perhaps you’d need a prescription-strength remedy or an evaluation by a Dermatologist or Allergist.

Question 4

I have had temp-induced hives for 8 yrs. i take 4 xyzal/day to control. now i often break out in tiny clear water blisters when my skin gets hot. why?

Accepted Answer

Looks like that you may have cholinergic urticaria which is benign and associated with the cooling down period after a rise in core body temperature.  The blister type of lesions are not urticaria and may be serious if not treated promptly.  See a dermatologist ASAP.

Accepted Answer

Flonase is usually taken once per day, unless your doctor prescribing it has told you otherwise. Also, both Xyzal (levocetirizine) and Zyrtec are long-acting antihistamines, also usually taken only once per day. You should discuss all of your medications with your doctor and they can advise you of the best way to take your allergy medications.

Question 7

My gp prescribed one xyzal (levocetirizine) a day and 2 sprays of veramyst in each nostril twice a day. is it a normal dosage? what are the possible side effects?

Accepted Answer

Zyzal is the new zyrtec, that dose is standard.  It can cause mucosal drying and some difficulty urinating in persons with enlarged prostate.  The Veramyst is a nasal steroid, which can predispose tofungal infection or bleeds. None of these are common side effects, they are generally well tolerated.  The doses are usual.
