Why pay more for the brand. Works the same, same quality for a significantly lower price!

![CETIRIZINE 10 MG TAB 100 [Health and Beauty] CETIRIZINE 10 MG TAB 100 [Health and Beauty]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4164598-BuL._SL160_.jpg)


Cetirizine is slightly more effective than loratidine (Claritin) and is slightly more sedating. Therefore I usually have patients take it after dinner time - but it is not highly sedating and some people don't even notice it.
Overall a very good product.
Importantly in these very bad economic times, the price is certainly right. This generic version of Zyrtec is much less costly than buying the actual brand name.
The tablets work for just about twenty-four hours just like the makers advertise it to work; but if I need more, I sometimes pop an extra tablet--with my doctor's "OK," that is.
Of course, follow the directions on the bottle very carefully. There are some warnings you should heed. As always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about this product ask your doctor first before taking this medicine. In addition, use these tablets before their expiration date.
Overall these generic Zyrtec tablets help me immeasurably when I have allergy symptoms from pollen, dust, pet fur and more. I highly recommend this product!
Helpful hint: this drug is most effective about 12-16 hours after you take it. (That's why I take it at night before I go to bed.) Also, if you skip a dose, take it ASAP. Otherwise, your body will build up a type of tolerance to it and it will lose its effectiveness.
My main complaint with this product is that the reason I purchased this product from this specific retailer was that I was under the impression I was going to be sent Mylan brand Cetirizine. I work in a pharmacy and know and trust Mylan brand generic drugs, among other manufacturers. I ordered this specific product for a little bit of peace of mind, assuming I'd be sent the pictured, and named in product link Mylan brand product. I was a little bit surprised when I opened my package to see Cetrizine manufactured by J.B. Chemicals & Pharmeceuticals, whom I have never heard of. Like I mentioned earlier, it may seem like i'm nitpicking or splitting hairs, but I would have been completely satisfied had there been mention somewhere that 'manufacturer of product may vary'.
Just a heads up for those that are as picky as I am about things like this, All generics should work the same, and the product I was sent is working as it should, and as good as any manufacturer i've used before, so don't hesitate to purchase this product knowing that the manufacturer you may be sent might not be Mylan brand.
**UPDATE: After sending an email (or a few) explaining they have a bottle of Generic Zyrtec from Mylan Labs in the ad for PACK LABS Cetirizine, they sent the correct bottle I wanted. I can't speak for the PACK Labs product, but the Mylan product is exactly the same as Zyrtec, and I will continue to order it! They have since removed the picture, leaving only the PACK Labs label by itself...
I have recommended this to friends. I ordered another bottle to have on hand in case we don't get an early freeze this year.
we've tried a few diff Centrizine. This is best we've found.
And less than .10 per pill.
I get this for my wife's allergies. I was a little skeptical at first of the quality of this item since it's so inexpensive. But my wife has almost used the whole bottle and she says they work just as good as the brand name stuff. Don't pay brand name prices, buy this item!!!
will order again in future
At first I didn't believe it would work as well, but I'm convinced at this point that I don't have to spend a lot of money to get relief from allergies. I will never buy cetirizine at full price again.
Instead of buying 30 pills for $15, I get 100 pills for $7. You should check out the generic name of your over-the-counter medication and see if you can find it in it's generic form. It's worth it!
What I received was 90 pills. Still very short for what I paid for and no receipt.
Ok, enough with the infomercial, but really this product is great. I was really tired of having the sniffles (this is antihistamine so this won't be much benefit if your clogged) so I found Zrytec in the store loved it worked great for me, however, I could not keep paying that pricetag. So I went online searched for the main active ingredient which is Cetirizine Hydrochloride. Found it here, ordered it. It worked just as well if not better as a stand alone! I hate medication where you have to take it daily for it to have an effect, this you dont' have to, take only when you need it 30min-1hr later your sniffle-free and your nose is NOT clogged like most other allergy medications make you. This is my experience hope it works great for you too!
Since a small amount of cetirizine can pass through the blood brain it can be sedating for some people. However most people have no side effects or they go away within a couple of weeks.
One thing to note is that I did not receive Apotex made cetirizine as advertised, instead I got Mylan brand. It is certainly not a problem but if anyone has some sensitivity and/or adverse reactions to Mylan products or you are used to taking Apotex brand you might not wan't to buy this.
