Zyrtec is the first allergy medication that actually works for me; 24hours. No side effects and it is great for both indoor and outdoor allergys.

I like this over any other brand, I have a latex allergy and sometimes the weather gets to me . . . so I don't take it all the time, only when I go diving (scuba suit) or the pollen count is ridiculously high . . . but it seems to squash my uncomfort.

have had allergies 90% of the year, and have tried everything. Zyrtec is the only thing that works!

I used to use Claritin (generics) and that stopped working as effectively so I figured I would give this a shot. It does work but I do get slightly drowsy when using it.

Has given me the best releive of any other product in its line

I take Zyrtec everyday to prevent allergy symptoms. It works great and I highly recommend it!!

Been using it for years.

To reduce drowsiness, I cut a bit from each end of the oblong tablet. May be getting only 7-8 mg of the medication, but I find little difference in its effectiveness as an anti-Histamine.

Like all second generation allergy medications, Zyrtec is not effective for everyone. Competing products, like Clariton, don't work at all for me. I'm thrilled to have Zyrtec available OTC. The only side effect my family and I have noticed is somewhat dry sinuses, but not nearly as bad as with older, first-generation antihistamines.

I began taking Zyrtec about 6 years ago for allergies which cover the broad spectrum for indoor and outdoor allergies. My allergies were in the 1 to 2+ range so they weren't considered severe but they made me miserable with itchy rashes, watery/itchy eyes & ears, etc. It gave me relief!!! Then our insurance stopped approving it when Claritin came out over the counter which they said was Zyrtec's equivalent. Well, it isn't!! I was miserable for a couple of years trying to treat my allergy symptoms (nothing worked) when I asked my doctor [...] to try to arbitrate with the insurance to get me approved again since nothing was working at alleviating my symptoms. They did approve it and I was so glad and symptom free again. Then 3 months later, Zyrtec came out over the counter and I am so glad because now I can get it easily and can find deals on it. There is also a generic out now which I want to try to see if it works as well. I never had noticed drowsiness when I took it during the day but I know everyone is different but you can always take it at night.
