See an allergist: If allergy medicines are not helping and allergies trigger your asthma, it may be time to see an allergist for evaluation. In the long run allergy injections may be a better option.

Zyrtec (cetirizine) for asthma: Zyrtec (cetirizine) will not treat asthma. If you have asthma triggered by allergies you need specific asthma treatments see your doctor. You may need to get some additional asthma controller therapy such as steroid inhalers. Allergy immunotherapy can help to control allergies that trigger asthma. In addition for more severe allergic asthma xolair injections are available.
