Can i take a half a zyrtec (cetirizine) tablet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many people do well with a half-dose of zyrtec, (cetirizine) and the lower dose will decrease the chances of drowsiness. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is also available in a 5mg children's dose, so you don't have to cut the 10mg tablets in half.

Zyrtec (cetirizine) works best for me but also is very sedating for the next 24 hrs. Can i split the pill and take a lower dose (5 mg) or even 2.5 mg children's dose? Would those doses be less sedating?
