Drug Uses
Zyrtec is an antihistamine. Antihistamines prevent sneezing, runny nose,
itching and watering of the eyes and other allergic symptoms. Zyrtec is used
to treat allergies, hives (urticaria) and other allergic inflammatory conditions.
How Taken
Zyrtec comes as a tablet to take it orally. It usually is taken once a day.
It may be taken regularly or when allergy symptoms flare up. Follow the
directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or
pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Zyrtec exactly
as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed
by your doctor.
Warnings/Precautions
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver
disease. You may need a lower dose or special monitoring during your therapy
with Zyrtec. Zyrtec is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it
is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. Do not take Zyrtec without first talking
to your doctor if you are pregnant. Zyrtec passes into breast milk and may
affect a nursing baby. Do not take Zyrtec without first talking to your doctor
if you are breast-feeding a baby. If you are over 60 years of age, you may
be more likely to experience side effects from Zyrtec. You may require a
lower dose of this medication.
Missed Dose
If you forget to take a dose, do not take an extra tablet to catch up for
the dose you forgot. Wait and take your next tablet at the regular time.
Do not take more tablets than your doctor prescribed.
Possible Side Effects
Stop taking Zyrtec and seek emergency medical attention if you experience
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling
of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other, less serious side effects
may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Zyrtec and talk to your doctor
if you experience sleepiness, fatigue, or dizziness; headache; or dry mouth.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor
about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Overdose
Seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms of a Zyrtec overdose are not well
known, but extreme sleepiness, confusion, and weakness may be expected.
