Answers:
Well, "safe" is a tough word to say with prescriptions because of all the side effects. Specifically, http://www.drugs.com/cdi/zyrtec.html on Zyrtec says:
"Drowsiness; dry mouth; stomach pain (in children); tiredness; trouble sleeping (in children).
-Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); dark urine; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; mental or mood changes; persistent fatigue; seizures; severe dizziness; unusual bruising or bleeding; yellowing of eyes or skin."
However, some people just can't handle not having some sort of extra boost for their allergies, so it may be your only option. There are a lot of people who have respiratory allergies that get a lot of benefits from Quercetin and Bromelain... I know I've used that with great success on some of my worse "allergy days". I'd say to give that a shot for a few days (maybe a week) before jumping in with a prescription that has those side effects and a huge price tag. Good luck and I hope I helped!Health Question & Answer
