Zyrtec Allergy Medicine Reviews

I was checking out some reviews here on Viewpoints the other day and found out that my favorite allergy med is now being sold over the counter.  Yippy!

I kept telling my doctor that Zyrtec worked great for me, but he kept giving me nasal spray and I don't like nasal spray gosh darn it!

Zyrtec works for indoor and outdoor allergies.  At work they have been moving things all over the place and stirring up a lot of dust and my head was all blocked up to where I couldn't hear and nothing was working for me.  After reading the review by "sfritz64" saying Zyrtec was being sold over the counter now,...

After several years of paying different co-pays for this medication for the last 5 years, it's finally going "over the counter"!  Is that a good thing or a bad thing??  I'll bet it will be just like when Claritin went over the counter.  Expensive at first, and then gradually getting cheaper.  This is a drug that I certainly can't live without, or if I did, my life would be filled with sinus infections and more hay fever, allergies, and asthma than I already have.

I have come to depend on this  drug, and when I went to have it filled the other day, I was told that if I filled it now, it would...

Zyrtec is the only allergy medication that I have tried that doesn't cause drowsiness and actually keeps all of my allergy symptoms away for a full 24 hours.  Without Zyrtec I would have red, itchy, watery eyes anytime I stepped outside or came near a cat.  There would be sneezing and itching around my nose and an occasional sore throat. 

The small size of the tablet makes it much easier to take on a daily basis along with my other medications.  I have also found that the store brands of Zyrtec work just as well as the name brand, saving me a great deal of money each month. 

As soon as I feel my allergies coming on, I take one of these and I start to feel better.  I've suffered from allergies for years and tried several different things, some prescription, some not, but this is the ONE medicine that helps.  AND it's available without a prescription now!  That makes it so much more affordable.  What used to cost me $ 50.00 (with insurance) now costs me about $ 25.00 for a thirty day supply.  It is also offered in generic form, which would make it even cheaper, but I trust the Zyrtec brand so I stick with it.

I take the Zyrtec D, which just means it has a decongestant. ...

I 've never tried prescription allergy medicines and don't think my symptoms are severe enough to warrant it, but I am a seasonal allergy sufferer.  I have tried many over-the-counter allergy remedies over the years and none of them compare to Zyrtec.  This product eradicated all my allergy symptoms fairly quickly and for the rest of the day.  Because Zyrtec does take time to start working, I try to take every the morning during 'high allergy days' whether or not I have symptoms.  This way I'm sneeze free for the rest of the day.  My only complaint is the price.  It is almost twice the...

The folks at Zyrtec got this one WRONG!  The OTC version does not work like the prescription!  I'd been on the 'script version for about 13 years with much success!  I couldn't go more than a day without it. Now, with the OTC version, my nose is constantly running, watery eyes, itchy... you name it... And one of my co-workers just made the same remark so we went online and now realize that we are not the only ones. 

Anyone have a suggestion?... I've tried adding other types of allergy meds inc. Flonase and Advair, but the side effects were worse than the problem I was trying to treat. ...
