A member asked:
Will zyrtec (cetirizine) or zyrtec (cetirizine) d help alleviate phlegm in throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Both types of Zyrtec contain an antihistamine that dry up excess secretions. Zyrtec-D has an additional decongestant to clear stopped up nasal passages that happen when the dried secretions and inflamed mucosa obstruct your narrow nasal airways and make it impossible to move air through your nostrils well.
