Why should you not take zyrtec everyday? and i'm 23 and roughly 130lbs i think i accidently took 2 within 20 mins or so i'm not sure but my husband told me to throw up to be safe i'm not really feeling anything except a little itchy but that happens time

It is ok: 20mg of Zyrtec (cetirizine) is a safe dose. Even 40mg can be prescribed for patients without toxicity concerns. If you are using it for general itchiness, be sure that your skin is optimally moisturized as this might do the trick.
