Zyrtec-D Allergy Medicine Review Summary

Zyrtec-D Allergy Medicine, now available as an over the counter allergy medication, receives mixed reviewers from our allergy sufferers. While this allergy medication is an "all purpose" medication that relieves not just nasal symptoms but many other allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, rashes and congestion, Reviewer Njchica who is a "home" for lost pets says, "Zyrtec-D is wonderful because it prevents all of the classic allergy symptoms--itchy skin, red/watery/itchy eyes, sneezing, and rashes as well as improving the condition of my sinuses." The most common complaint about this allergy medication is its price. lkjlljl points out, "I was shocked to find the price at nearly $1 a pill, even with a discount coupon!" Other common complaints include having to get this allergy medicine through the pharmacy counter. Visit our other allergy medication reviews for more advice.

I am allergic to lots of things including dust mites, mold, all kinds of pollen, laundry detergents, cats and dogs.  I'll also throw out there that I have moderate-to-severe asthma.  It doesn't take much to get me sneezing, wheezing, itching, wiping watery eyes, and congested like you've never seen. ...

Zyrtec-D contains an antihistamine and a nasal decongestant, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a combination which works well for me, although not as good as Actifed, a discontinued drug here in the U.S.

I was shocked to find the price at nearly $1 a pill, even with a discount coupon!

Then I discovered...

We are happy with  Zyrtec D in my house.  3 of us use it.  It definitely helps with all of hte allergy symptoms with out drying us out too much.  We only wish it had stayed prescription, as it is expensive over the counter when 3 of us are using it!

ZyrtecD has consistently controlled my allergy symptoms more effectively than any other product I have tried.  Since I live in the "pollen belt" the number of products that I have gone through are numerous.  Most allow me to function at a minimium level of comfort.  ZyrtecD raises the bar for all allergy relievers.  I have been able to resume normal activities instead of camping out at home during my worst days of the season.  Since the symptoms are relieved so effectively I can be out among the public without the embarassment of a constantly running nose, watery eyes etc...   Since I began...

When I was in Texas, allergy testing revealed high allergies to every week I was tested for.  In Arizona, those allergies have continued.  I've never gotten shots, but I have been using Alavert for years.  I've always loved it, but last year, my allergies developed into a sinus infection.  My doctor said, "You need something really good and strong, like Zyrtec-D."  By the next day, I felt like a different person.  I didn't feel achy or tired like I did the day before.  Zyrtec-D fights the effects of allergies without drowsiness or over-exciteability.  The "D" stands for decongestant,...

ZyrtecD definitely lives up to its ratings by patients and doctors, even over-the-counter. I have tried many allergy medicines and because I have to take them everyday regardless of the season my body builds an immunity within a couple of weeks and medicines no longer work for me. ZyrtecD is the opposite. I have been taking it for almost a year and it still works for me. I am able to breathe better through my nose, thanks to the decongestant in this pill. I take 2 pills a day and feel good all day. This was recommended by a pharmacist and I am so glad he did recommend it. I have now been able to...

taking allegra d . Allegra d brings relief to my allergies .  I will continue to take allergra d

for my alleries.     I suffer from allergies year round so taking Allegra d on a regular basis

has been beneficial   to me.  Allegra...

I do not use allergy medicine on a regular basis, but when I need to be at my best I use ZyrtecD Allergy and Sinus medicine. It is effective and long lasting (about 12 hours of relief). It also works very quickly against allergy symptoms caused by ragweed, pollen, grass, dust, pets and mould. I take one tablet in the morning and it usually lasts for the whole working day. I do not take allergy medicine at night when I sleep because it seems like a waste. This medicine contains an antihistimine (Cetirizine Hydrochloride) which is effective against seasonal allergies that cause itchy, watery eyes,...

I have been suffering from allergies, indoor and out, for about 10 years. I try everything to relieve the ever-present headaches and sinus pressure that I have. From the begining of spring and fall, to the indoor symptoms during the winter and summer, I am always complaining. I tried this when it first came out, at first I loved it, but then it was starting to effect my day-to-day since it left me drowsy. As you find with a lot of allergy meds, I was lethargic and didn't feel like myself at all. Besides that side effect, I think it was a good product. I was not stuffy at all, the headaches had...

Zyrtec D

It took a long time for me to find something that works without making me drowsy.  My doctor originally wrote a prescribe for Zyrtec D & since it's over the counter now, the cost has increased dramaticlly.  Prices are generally lower on web sites vs drug stores, etc.  I take one tablet daily and go all day whether I'm indoors or out.

Zrytec D is an over the counter allergy medicine that is available in any store that has a pharmacy. It is pricey. Twelve capsules cost around $15.00. The capsules are only effective for twelve hours, so users would have to take two capsules per day for full allergy relief. Also, in order to purchase this item at your local drugstore or supermarket, you must take the item tag off the shelf and take it to the in-store pharmacy. If you are shopping at Wal-Mart, this means that you will have to be entered into the pharmacy database (time consuming) and will have to purchase the medicine separate...
