Question 1

can i take zrytec and aerieus-d together?

Accepted Answer

Better not: If you have uncontrolled symptoms with either alone, another agent may be needed. Aerius d, (desloratadine and pseudoephedrine combo)  should be taken regularly as prescribed to see an effect, zyrtec, (cetirizine) is OTC, the component is similar less the decongestant pseudoephedrine. Check with your doctor, for more comprehensive evaluation see an allergist/immunologist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist

Question 2

how long can you take zyrtec?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on the condition, some would take it for years, but if you need it for long, better run it by tour doctor, best wishes

Question 3

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 4

can i break original 10 mg of zyrtec?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe.: Because Zyrtec is not a slow release tablet, it can be safely broken in half. Zyrtec also exists as orally disintegrating tablets and oral solution which can be helpful for patients with swallowing difficulties.

Question 5

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 6

can i take ashwagandha  with zrytec  safely?

Accepted Answer

No bad reports: No problems are reported but that's not a guarantee. You might ask your Dr and certainly follow each one's directions. Pay attention to how you feel and be cautious but it should be okay.

Question 7

my zyrtec says it expired 2/10 is it still good?

Accepted Answer

No: That is far beyond the expiration date. Throw it out.

Question 8

does crushing a zyrtec pill make it less effective?

Accepted Answer

No: It is inherently a long-acting drug and thus crushing kicking, dissolving, chewing etc would not affect its effectiveness or duration of action.

Question 9

is it ok to take nyquil at 1 am if i took zrytec at 930 pm?

Accepted Answer

You may be able to: If you aren't sedated/sleepy then you are fine.  If you are feeling sleepy, I would be careful because the two together can make your drowsy/groggy.
