A member asked:

What can i do if my allergies are really working on me, can i take two zyrtec (cetirizine) when one doesn't work?

Allergies: Doubling your antihistamine may not be answer to treat your bad allergies, you should consult an allergist to manage your allergies better, you may need a different type of medication, such as a nasal spray if you are congested.
