I'm dying here! Okay to take zyrtec?

I think I've seen someone else post here about taking Zyrtec or Claritin or something, so I don't see why it would be an issue. Your post-op instructions might indicate if there are certain types of meds you couldn't take; I think mine just said don't take any large tablets (nothing larger than an aspirin) but capsules and small tablets OK.

My doc ok'd Zyrtec just a couple days after surgery. I used the childrens grape flavored chewable for the first month. The children's is the same 10 mg dosage, but a little easier on the new tummy.

Sorry, double post.

I was back on Allegra the day I was released from the hospital. Funny story. In the hospital I was flushed and the palms of my hands were itching. The nurses couldn't figure out why. My PCP said later that it was withdrawal symptoms from coming off the antihistimine.

oh YES YES YES...I take zyrtec daily and singulair and atarax for hives...all normal tabs all since surgery. take then and do not suffer!
