Ingredients

Having allergies can be frustrating at times, whether they’re making your eyes itch, your nose run, or a combination of the two. So, it’s a relief to know that antihistamines can help relieve your symptoms.

Active Ingredient

Cetirizine HCl 5 mg (in each extended release tablet)

Purpose:

Antihistamine

Pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg (in each extended release tablet)

Purpose:

Nasal Decongestant

When you have an allergic reaction, your immune system produces chemicals known as histamines to fight the allergen, and these are what cause your symptoms. Cetirizine helps relieve these symptoms by blocking the effects of histamines, so your symptoms don’t develop.

Frequently Asked Questions

ALL FAQS

How is ZYRTEC-D® different from ZYRTEC®?

How does ZYRTEC-D® work on sinus pressure and congestion?

Why is ZYRTEC-D® located behind the pharmacy counter?

Pseudoephedrine, an active ingredient in some cold, allergy, and sinus products, can be chemically processed into methamphetamine (commonly known as meth). The illegal use of meth had increased, prompting Congress to pass the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2006 (CEMA). The objective of the law is to eliminate the use of pseudoephedrine in the illegal production of meth. By law, products containing pseudoephedrine must now be sold behind the counter and through online retailers who must meet certain requirements.

Note that products containing pseudoephedrine remain available without a prescription in most states.
