Zyrtec

Zyrtec is an effective second generation antihistamine for treatment of allergies. It is as effective as traditional antihistamines, but its safety profile is a good deal better.

Mostly, Zyrtec is used for nasal allergies: seasonal allergies (Hay Fever) and year round allergies (Allergic rhinitis to household pets, housedust, mold, and cockroaches).

Zyrtec is a derivative of hydroxyzine, (Atarax) a strong sedative, thus some patients, albeit, few, respond with fatigue, loss of energy, confusion, and clumsiness.

Nasal allergies effect more than 40 million Americans with nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, itching, and runny nose. Consequently, for well-being and a higher quality of life, safe and effective medications are much in demand.

Zyrtec is FDA approved to treat both indoor and outdoor allergies in toddlers from 2 years of age and older. As with other second generation products, Zyrtec comes in multiple forms: syrup and tablets, with and without added decongestants.

It is particularly helpful when itching is a dominant symptom.
