Zyrtec Directions? |

Your Zyrtec dosage depends on several factors, including what allergy is being treated, as well as your height, weight, and age. Your doctor can answer any questions about the amount you should take or how often. Don't drink alcohol or other depressants while you are taking Zyrtec.

You should not quit taking Zyrtec without your doctor's knowledge. Never take more than prescribed. Your doctor should know about your medical history before you begin taking Zyrtec. Don't take any prescription or over the counter products without your doctor's knowledge. |
