Zyrtec Allergy Medicine Review

I started using Zyrtec over a year ago when my insurance company stopped covering my prescription allergy medication.  At first I was wary because my seasonal allergies are fairly severe and I didn't think a over the counter remedy would be strong enough.  I was pleasantly surprised with Zyrtec.  Zyrtec helps control my symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat and eyes) and I do not experience any side effects while taking it.  Other allergy medications made me drowsy or jittery but Zyrtec did not.  Zyrtec is supposed to work for 24 hours.  I find that if I take the medication first thing in the morning, relief lasts all day.  When I forget to take Zyrtec in the morning I definitely notice a difference.  The only drawback to Zyrtec is the price -- most pharmacies near me sell a 30 day supply for around $35.  However, the relief is worth the cost.  Also, if I had to pay out of pocket for a prescription allergy remedy, that cost would exceed $35.
