On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Zyrtec for something other than allergies or hives. Currently, there are no universally accepted off-label Zyrtec uses.
MISSED DOSE: If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
ZyrtecŪ is a non-prescription medication used to treat several allergy symptoms, including runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. The drug is also used to treat itching due to hives (which may or not be caused by allergies). Zyrtec works by blocking the effects of histamine -- a chemical in the body that causes sneezing, itching, and irritation when you come into contact with something you're allergic to. While some people take the drug year-round, others take it only during allergy season.
