Question 1

i am suffering badly with allergies even though i take zertex every day?

Accepted Answer

What r ur symptoms?: are they skin or respiratory symptoms? need to be more specific, also zertex, (I believe you meant 'zyrtec') isn't meant to be a panacea for all allergy problems, if you used it and still suffering, then you need professional help, kindly see your primary doctor who may refer you to an allergist. Check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, also for some patient education materials

Question 2

Question 7

can he take zyrtec twice daily?

Accepted Answer

: It's always best to follow the instructions on the bottle or the ones from the prescribing physician. That being said, it's unlikely that taking one extra dose would be problematic if you're not experiencing side effects like drowsiness or sufficient improvement with one dose. Be sure to limit the dose to no more than twice daily and take it twice in a day only occasionally.

Question 8

can i break original 10 mg of zyrtec?

Question 9

is it okay to take 20 mg zyrtec/ daily?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Although the usual dose of zyrtec (cetirizine) for an adult is 10 mg daily, under the direction of a physician, some patients may need more.  It would be important to discuss the dosing with your physician as another approach to treatment may be indicated.  Avoid drinking alcohol and be aware that drowsiness may be more likely at higher doses.

Question 10

can you take zirtec and midol together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As usual, when taking multiple medications it is wise to keep track of any side-effects that you may experience.  Always let your primary doctor know of any over-the-counter medications you are on.

That being said, zyrtec (cetirizine) and midol should be safe to use together.

If you take midol pm with zyrtec (cetirizine) however, you may get excessively sleepy, and this may lead to accidents.
