When you love your pet but suffer from pet allergies, there are medications that can help you manage your symptoms.
Zyrtec
is one such medication that may be able to provide relief from pet dander allergies. It's important to keep pets away from your bedroom and upholstered furniture, and to wash your hands immediately after touching them. Grooming can cause their skin to peel or become “sticky”, making it harder to clean cat dander from household surfaces.Zyrtec
is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms.It is available in both over-the-counter and prescription forms. It is usually taken once a day, but some people may need to take it twice a day. It is important to follow the instructions on the package or as directed by your doctor.
Zyrtec
can help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and itchy throat. It can also help reduce swelling and redness in the eyes.It may take several days for the full effects of Zyrtec to be felt. If you do not experience relief after taking Zyrtec for several days, you should talk to your doctor. In addition to taking Zyrtec, there are other steps you can take to reduce your exposure to pet dander. Vacuum regularly and use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Keep pets out of the bedroom and off upholstered furniture.
Wash bedding and other fabrics in hot water at least once a week. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters in rooms where pets spend time. If you have pet allergies, talk to your doctor about whether Zyrtec is right for you. With the right medication and lifestyle changes, you can enjoy living with your pet without suffering from allergy symptoms.
