A member asked:
What happens if i took 2 zyrtec (cetirizine) pills instead of 1 as directed within 24 hrs?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not to worry: Probably nothing except for the potential for increased drowsiness, but i wouldn't recommend making a habbit of taking that dose. One tablet a day is the typical adult dose.

Most likely...: You'll have a dry mouth and feel tired. You may also have some side effects including dry eyes and difficulty urinating. I would not recommend doing it routinely in less your physician okays it.
