Is it ok to take 10 mg zyrtec (cetirizine) allergy every day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zyrtec (cetirizine) dose: The usual dose of zyrtec (cetirizine) is 10mgm daily. In some patients, especially with hives and itching, we use 10mgm twice daily. Zyrtec is now much less expensive as the generic preparations are available.
