Answer
you need to call your dr. my daughter is pregnant and has asthma her doctor said all she wants her to take is zyrtec and albuterol inhaler. good luck and get your flu shot.

Has anyone tried the Rite Aid Cetirizine for allergies? Its supposed to be like Zyrtec.?

Does it make you drowsy? I need it but I wont take it if it makes me drowsy

Answer
Cetirizine is the generic for Zyrtec (meaning made by different company but contains the same medication (other ingredients and processing of the drug may be different). When Zyrtec became over the counter and it was allowed for other companies to manufacture the drug, store brands of cetirizine came out. It can make you drowsy; read the label carefully. There are various versions - a -D and for different hours of relief.

I used to take Zyrtec, for several years (stopped in 2003 when I was pregnant with my son). It worked great at first but lost efficacy over time for me. I have tons of food allergies and other (dust etc) but I just avoid instead of taking drugs since I can.
