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.
