Zyrtec-D Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information

Zyrtec-D side effects may include drowsiness, agitation, anxiety, headache, fatigue, indigestion, and dry mouth. Rare Zyrtec-D side effects may include nausea, nervousness, cough, stuffy nose, and throat irritation.

Zyrtec-D Side Effects Reporting

If you experience any Zyrtec-D side effects not mentioned above you should report it to your primary health care provider or FDA 1-800-FDA-1088 in the United States, Health Canada 1-866-225-0709 in Canada, MHRA 020 3080 6000 in UK, or TGA 1800 020 653 in Australia.

The difference between Zyrtec and Zyrtec-D is that Zyrtec-D combines antihistamine with the nasal decongestant pseudoephedrine. Main ingredients in Zyrtec-D are Cetirizine and Pseudoephedrine. Zyrtec-D causes no or less drowsiness and works by blocking the release of histamine from the cell at the histamine receptor site and relieving the symptoms of seasonal allergies and hay fever like the itchy, runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. Zyrtec-D's effect begins in an hour and lasts up to twelve hours.
