Description generic Zyrtec: Zyrtec is a second-generation antihistamine which means
it is most commonly used in treating different types of allergies,
such as hay fever and urticaria. In addition to these, Zyrtec
may be employed in other medical conditions, such as common
cold and Kamura's disease which makes it more than just an
anti allergy drug.
What is Zyrtec? Zyrtec is an allergy medicine, belonging to the second-generation
of antihistamines. Being an antihistamine, its mechanism
of action involves inhibition of histamine receptors that
are otherwise affected by histamine and that are responsible
for the vast majority of allergy symptoms, such as runny nose,
itchy eyes, sneezing, etc. Zyrtec is particularly effective
in treating hay fever and urticaria. In addition to allergies,
Zyrtec may also be used in treatment of common cold, alleviating
much of the symptoms involving respiratory tract. Another
medical condition that might be treated with Zyrtec is Kimura's
disease, a condition that usually affects young men of Asian
descent and which involves different symptoms such as itching
and lesions. Being a second-generation antihistamine, Zyrtec
affects the central nervous system to much less extent than
older antihistamines, which means it is less likely to cause
sedative side effects such as drowsiness.
Before using Zyrtec
For some time, Zyrtec used to be a prescription drug only,
while it can now be bought without a prescription. However,
this does not mean that you should first not talk to your
doctor before you order Zyrtec online. The best thing to do
before taking any medications is to talk to your physician
who will then decide if a certain drug is the best solution
for you. When you talk to your doctor about Zyrtec, you should
mention all the medical conditions that might have ailed you
in the past or that you are suffering from at the present.
One thing that you must not fail to mention is if you are
allergic to this type of medication. There are many antihistamine
medications that have been categorized as unsuitable for use
during pregnancy. Zyrtec is not one of them and it can safely
be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women. Still, it is
a good idea to tell your doctor about being pregnant and let
them decide if you can take Zyrtec.
Proper use of Zyrtec
When taking any medications, the best way to achieve the most
benefits and to avoid any unwanted effects is to take the
medication according to the prescription or to the directions
that are written on the label. Zyrtec is no different and
the proper use of Zyrtec involves adhering to the recommended
regimen. Zyrtec may be taken with meals or without them. If
you feel that your stomach is upset upon ingesting Zyrtec,
you might try taking it with food, as this reduces the possibility
of upset stomach. If you are taking Zyrtec chewable tablets,
you should chew them before you swallow them. If you are taking
Zyrtec in liquid form, you have to measure the doses correctly,
using measuring devices, and not ordinary utensils or cups.
In case Zyrtec does cause certain sedative side effects, make
sure that you refrain from driving or doing anything else
that is dangerous until the side effects go away.
Which side effects may be caused by Zyrtec?
Zyrtec is a second-generation antihistamine and as such, it
is less likely to cause side effects than the older drugs
from the same class. Still, it has to be noted that certain
side effects may occur, although this is unlikely. The more
common side effects are mild ones, such as headaches, constipation,
nausea, cough, sore throat, dry mouth, tiredness, drowsiness
and dizziness. In extremely rare cases, certain more serious
side effects like urinating less, vision problems, confusion,
hyperactivity, restlessness, tremors, insomnia, weakness and
uneven heartbeats may occur. If these should happen to you,
make sure you immediately contact your physician who will
tell you what to do next.
