A member asked:

How many reactine pills can i take at once?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Kwok answered

1-2, depends on size: Zyrtec (cetirizine) is the U.S. Medication. It may be called reactine in other countries. If using zyrtec (cetirizine) dosing, 5 mg works for kids, and 10mg for teens and adults.

How long does it take to develop tolerance to Zyrtec? How often would I have to take it to become tolerant? I take Cetirizine HCL (10 mg) for my eczema flare ups, and I was worried the pills would lose its effectiveness if I took them too often?
