A member asked:

I am 18w pregnant.taking zyrtec-d daily whole pregnancy.now i read it's not good.doc told me it was fine.is my baby ok?!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Zyrtec (cetirizine): I do use zyrtec in pregnancy, but typically avoid zyrtec d. I prefer zyrtec over Claritin (loratadine) as well. You might want to use regular zyrtec.
