Zyrtec Side Effects

Zyrtec side effects can be serious and seek emergency medical attention if you experience a rare but serious allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, tongue, face or hives.

Other, less serious Zyrtec side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Zyrtec and talk to your doctor if you experience: drowsiness, dizziness, headache, or dry mouth.

Zyrtec is an antihistamine which blocks the actions of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Zyrtec is prescribed to treat the sneezing,  itchy, runny nose; and itchy, red, watery eyes caused by seasonal allergies such as hay fever. Zyrtec also relieves the symptoms of year-round allergies due to dust, mold, and animal dander. Zyrtec is also used in the treatment of chronic itchy skin and hives.


Zyrtec side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any Zyrtec side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.


Remember that all medications/drugs can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and can be toxic to your liver.
