Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The recommended dosage for adults and children 12 years and older is typically one 10mg tablet daily.
For Adults and Children 12 Years and Older:
- Take one tablet once a day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You can take Zyrtec with or without food.
For children under 12 years of age, consult your doctor or pharmacist for appropriate dosage and administration instructions. They will determine the correct dosage based on your child’s weight and age.
Missed Dose:
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If you experience any unexpected side effects, stop taking Zyrtec and consult your doctor immediately.
Store Zyrtec tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
