Great Product, but will make you sleepy

If taken at night, you'll get a great night's sleep and should wake up symptom-free the next day. Zyrtec has a fair amount of Benedryl (dyphenhydramine) as part of it's chemical make-up so, it will make you sleepy. I take at night and iwake up symptom free the whole next day.

 

It's definately a product I would recommend. It's still covered by some Insurance companies,even though it's gone over-the-counter, so if you get your MD to write you a prescription, you have a chance that it will be covered by Insurance. Otherwise, it's pretty pricey as an over-the-counter medication. No generic have been made available for Zyrtec yet, so if you need a substitute that you can afford (although not as great a medication ) you can try Claritin (or Loratadine - generic). It may work for you and it's generic over-the-counter brand Loratidine makes it an affordable option for everyone.

No, Zyrtec doesn't contains any dyphenhydramine. Where do you get this "information?"
