Can i use zyrtec (cetirizine) for hives caused by peanut reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Zyrtec (cetirizine) will help with hives caused by food, drug or environmental allergies. If there are other symptoms beyond just hives be sure to have and not be afraid to use self-injectable Epinephrine (such as EpiPen). Zyrtec will not necessarily prevent anaphylaxis.
