Common Questions and Answers about Zyrtec and pregnancy safe

zyrtec

Avatar f tn 3) Is BID dosing of Zyrtec safe in pregnancy? I know it is safe during pregnancy but I think most people who are pregnant are using it PRN, not QD or BID. Without the Zyrtec, my hives are not only unbearable but they also start to present in my throat, mouth and on my lips, so going without it is not really an option for me.

Avatar f tn Yes it's safe plus u can always ask the pharmacy
Avatar f tn The following information is taken from a reliable source of prescription drug information, Lexi-Comp. For Singulair the statement below, is not the equivalent of a statement that the drug has been shown to be safe. For Zyrtec the statement suggests that this drug is probably safe but that there is not enough evidence to confirm that belief. You may want to discuss this information with your doctor.

1472764 tn?1287588186 My OB said I can take Benedryl, Claritin or Zyrtec (I am allergic to Claritin and Zyrtec gives me headaches so am taking Benedryl). Allegedly, Chlor-trimeton is safe until the 3rd trimester (that is what I usually take) but I decided it is better safe and sleepy with Benedryl :) My nurses' drug book lists them all as Pregnancy Category B, the same as Tylenol.
Avatar f tn Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). It is characterized by small red bumps and hives, and when severe, the bumps form large patches. This rash usually develops on the abdomen, and spreads to the thighs, buttocks, breasts and arms. Anti-itching topical medications, antihistamines and topical corticosteroids can be used to control the itching.

Avatar n tn My Dr gave me a list of safe meds and on it are sudafed, Claritin and zyrtec.
Avatar f tn My have had terrible allergy symptoms so dr told me that zyrtec, Claritan and bendryl are safe during pregnancy. I took Zyrtec during the day yesterday with no relief by bedtime so I took a Benadryl to hopefully get some sleep at night because my symptoms were still terrible! Didn't realize this might not be ok to mix- anyone have any idea if mixing them once is ok?? Now I'm really nervous I did something wrong even though they're both safe.
213739 tn?1215486009 m in my third trimester and am dying from the ragweed and my doc. said zyrtec is completely safe to take. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm still nervous about taking it but I also can hardly breathe so I guess the benefits outweigh the risks since little guy does need oxygen. Let me know if you've taken it or if your doc has said anything about it! Thanks!
Avatar n tn I googled it and it says it may/may not be safe to take it in pregnancy. I know that it is safe to take benadryl although it will just offer temporary relief. I would ask your OB GYN what they think about the zyrtec d and if it will be safe. If you have a sinus infection you might need antibiotics that are prescribed by your doctor to get rid of it! I hope you feel better soon!
Avatar n tn Cough drops are safe and I believe zyrtec is safe I would double check with your doctor about allergy meds. My doctor let me take zyrtec when my allergies got really bad I ended up getting a bad allergy cold one day I took allergy meds the next I would do cough medicine I couldn't tell if it was just allergies or an actual cold and I couldn't take multi symptom cold medicine only one that treated cough only.
Avatar f tn We just adopted Penny last week. Our vet says she may have allergies and put her on benadryl 25 mg (she weighs 16 lbs) twice a day until he rechecks her on 1/7. The rescue organization wrote me and said benadryl was not safe; to use zyrtec (which I do on my male that I've had almost 10 years). Is benadryl safe for approximately 1 month's use? We want only the best for Penny. What should we do?
Avatar f tn I get hives and I take something that is similar to zyrtec for it. Cetirizine 10mg given to me by my VA (veteran affairs) doctor. It's safe. Get well soon. I know the feeling and it *****.
Avatar f tn ) if u need any more help on Meds that are safe to take just ask . By the way congrats on your pregnancy.
Avatar f tn My doctor was OK with me taking zyrtec. You just have to make sure to drink lots and lots of water.
4165464 tn?1384457741 Benadryl is safe for me. Allergies tend to be worse during pregnancy. I try to avoid the foods I'm allergic to but it's so hard. This is my second pregnancy and everything is fine. You should talk to your doctor and inform him/her of any other existing conditions you have.
Avatar m tn In the first place Zyrtec tends to make you drowsy and Allegra tends to perk you up. It would be pretty weird to take them together. I take Zyrtec daily and when my allergies act up I take a single dose of Benadryl which is short-acting. that works well for me.
Avatar f tn Allegra But like I said. Ask your doctor before taking anything.
Avatar f tn Benadryl is considered safe in pregnancy
3652468 tn?1367020305 So juss wait for it, but u might also not get sick, evef pregnancy is dif. And I have allergies rediculously! Im 18wks today, and still have them, I take Zyrtec and Tylenol w//o caffeine in it.
Avatar f tn Here is link to sinus rinse, they have it everywhere http://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinusrinse_isotonic.
Avatar f tn Zyrtec is the safest and one of the most effective allergy meds - deals with more allergens than claritin I use the zyrtec eye drops (i've only had itchy eyes lately) and Sinus Rinse - clears and prevents congestion. It took me a long time to get over the idea of squirting water up my nose, but it is totally worth it.
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take both Allegra-D and Zyrtec. In short, I suffer from allergies. I find that I feel best when I take a single pill of Allegra-D in the morning and a single pill of Zyrtec at night. In part, I have been doing this because I haven't had to go to the doctor (or Canada) to get more Allegra D so I can take it twice a day. I was wondering what the possible side-effects, besides fatigue, are of the regimen I'm taking? I've felt much better since beginning it.
Avatar f tn I take Claritin and Zyrtec and I still get stuffy at night. It's frustrating because I'm either blowing all day and stuffy at night. I sneeze a lot and constantly blowing. I sometimes get extremely dried out and I can't take it. I also use netti pot, nasal spray and nothing helps. Any other suggestions. It seems everytime I get pregnant my smell sensitivity heightens to the extreme. Thanks for any help.
Avatar f tn m 30w5d now but in the beginning of my pregnancy I took claritin they gave me a paper of medications safe to take and for allergies it says either one of those are safe
Avatar f tn Claritin, benadryl, Allegra, and zyrtec are all safe for your entire pregnancy.
