Hi all hope everyone well doctor has prescribed me with cetirizine hydrochloride 10mg am not gonna start till tomorrow just wondering anyone on these and do they make you dizzy thanks.

I have used it occasionally when I haven’t been able to get Loratadine and was fine. I think they are also non drowsy.

[sarahjane12 in reply to Troilus]

Awwww thanks Troilus I will give them a try

I took it for years with no issues at all. It's often prescribed for allergic reactions too so think it's probably pretty safe.

Thanks for your advice twinkly29.

I’ve taken it for years (on top of other various antihistamines) and I’m pretty sure I never had any issue with it. It’s a common ‘over the counter’ antihistamine so shouldn’t cause anything too major. Hope it helps

Awwwww thanks EmmaF91 was on montelukast for my allergies and asthma but didn’t agree with me so doctor has gave me this try.

They make me sleepy but I've been told this goes if you take them frequently (which I don't).

[sarahjane12 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for advice.

Hi there! I've had these too. Never felt dizzy, but even though they are non drowsy, they make me feel very tired? Doc told me to just take it before bed instead of in the morning, one a day. 😊

[sarahjane12 in reply to Cakerunner]

Thanks for advice i probably will take it of a night as am to busy in the day to be sleepy lol.

My son has been on them for years for his allergies and hasn’t had any problems with them

Hi I've taken daily for years without issue.

I take the 20mg tabs that are prescription only and have no side effects whatsoever!

[hallermike]

I take them as is the only Over the Counter(in US) antihistamine that works for me. Have never had dizziness I could attribute to it. I want to note that I read one study that said the Cetirizine 10 mg caused similar bronchial dilation to Albuterol Inhaler. For once a drug with a potentially beneficial side effect.

[Elspe]

We both take cetirizine, no dizzy effects here.

[Hidden]

I take it. In the US it’s ITC called Zyrtec, but if I get the generic(what you’ll have), it’s free under my MEDICARE.

For me it works with no side effects. I hope it does the same for you!
