      • FAQs FOR RESPONSIBLE DOSING

        • What are some tips for dosing my child responsibly?

          It is important to always read and follow label instructions. Always use the exact dosage specified on the label.

          Always use the measuring device that comes with the medicine. Other items like kitchen teaspoons may not be accurate. Never use spoons, droppers or cups that come with other medicines.

          If you have additional questions regarding treating your child's allergies, please speak with a doctor.

      • FAQs ABOUT DISPOSING OF UNUSED MEDICINE

        • What is the proper way to dispose of unused or expired medicines?

          Unless instructed otherwise, do not dispose of medicines by emptying them into your sink, toilet or storm drain.

          Some states may have regulations regarding pharmacy or community take-back programs in which they may receive and dispose of returned unused drugs for patients. Please contact your local pharmacy or local authority to determine if it participates in such programs.

          If medicines cannot be disposed of by take-back programs, place them in an unrecognizable sealed container and dispose of the container in your household trash.

          Where can I learn more about proper medicine disposal?

          Please visit: www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm101653.htm for more information.

      • FAQs ABOUT ALLERGIES

        • How do I know if I have allergies?

          If you sneeze a lot or have a consistent runny or stuffy nose, there's a good chance you have upper respiratory allergies. Allergies affect more than 50 million people in the United States alone.

          What are some common upper respiratory allergy symptoms?

          People with allergies often experience sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose (nasal congestion) or itchy, watery eyes.

          How many types of upper respiratory allergies are there and what’s the difference?

          If your symptoms occur only at certain times of the year, chances are it’s seasonal allergic rhinitis, or outdoor allergies. Common triggers (substances that cause an allergic response) include tree, grass and weed pollens, or mold.

          If your symptoms are year-round, it’s probably perennial allergic rhinitis, or indoor allergies. Common triggers include animal dander (tiny skin flakes or saliva from animals), indoor mold and dust mites.

          What can I do to alleviate my indoor upper respiratory allergy symptoms?

          • Keep windows closed and use air conditioning.
          • Stay indoors during peak pollen hours: usually 5 am to 10 am.
          • Change your clothes after you’ve been outside.
          • Don’t hang laundry outside to dry.
          • Avoid mowing the lawn or raking leaves.

My three year old was miserable for 3 days while taking Allegra and the pharmacist recommended Zyrtec. It made her feel so much better and she is back to her old happy sweet self. So thankful I found Zyrtec for her!

Instant results in toddler

Review Text: 
Our 2 year old had a runny nose and a dry cough for the last 4 months. His cough would get so bad at night he would constantly wake up crying and, at times, threw up. We were hesitant to give him medicine, just thinking it was a constant cold from preschool and didn't consider allergies at 2 years old, but I decided to try the Bubblegum flavor Zyrtec just to see if it could be allergies and it was incredible to see the immediate relief our son received. Within 30 minutes his nose stopped running, his cough stopped, and he got a full nights rest without coughing. He woke up without a crusted nose or cough. I wish I would have tried this months ago so he wouldn't have been so miserable!

Review Text: 
Since moving to the Carolinas several years ago, many of my family members have heightened allergy symptons. It's unbearable! When they all started talking about it, they all realized that Zyrtec has been the one OTC medicine that has worked for each of them. Zyrtec is my family's allergy medicine.
