| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR XYZAL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Allergy and headache | No adverse reaction | I think Xyzal is a fantastic drug. It completely handles my severe allergies | F | 61 | 1 years | 9/4/2019 | 5 | Hives Allergies | None | I have had severe allergies hives for 25 years. I have taken all of the allergy medications. I also took lyrica cymbalta and antibiotics for many years because of the allergy hives pain I was in. They all worked a little, but nothing like Xyzal!! Absolutely zero side effects. As far as I'm concerned this is a miracle drug. It just works like no other. | M | 57 | 60 days 5-10mg | 5/31/2018 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | It worked great for 2 to 3 months. Cleared up itchy nose, eyes, post nasal drip/cough, and itchy roof of mouth. Some drowsiness but tolerable. It was like a miracle drug at first. It has now lost effectiveness and seems to be doing nothing. I will have to try zyrtec again. I have also been getting allergy shots for 1.5 years. | F | 50 | 120 days 5 1X day | 10/21/2017 | 5 | Chronic runny nose, year round | For the past 15 years I have tried every over the counter allergy medication with absolutely no benefit. I have a runny nose (chronic rhinitis) year round, and Xyzal is the ONLY medication that has ever helped me. And it really does work for 24 hours. The only downside is the fatigue I feel the next day, so I cut the dose in half and I'm much less groggy in the morning. I sleep through the night so that's an added benefit! | F | 39 | 30 days 2.5 | 6/16/2017 | 5 | Taking for seasonal allergies. | Even taking this in the evening I am still very groggy in the morning. Been drinking an extra cup of coffee to combat the drowsiness. Some dizziness too. | F | 58 | 15 days 5-10 mg | 5/18/2017 | 5 | Helped my seasonal algeries | Keeps me awake if taken at night. | F | 62 | 1 months | 4/21/2017 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | None | I had terrible post nasal drip with a cough that remained after an upper respiratory infection. I couldn't smell anything. Xyzal stopped it immediately. I can taste and smell again! I'm not coughing or blowing my nose! I had tried Claritin, Zyrte, Allegra, and even neti pots to no avail. | F | 52 | 1 days 1 | 3/18/2017 | 5 | dry out bad cold/enviromental | Taken early it makes me tired later in the day. Dry mouth. And feel weak. But its not so bad i cant have a good day. Possibly raised blood pressure a little. Not for sure though. | It helps. I will take again if symptoms are bad. If drowziness isnt acceptable get claritin. | M | 35 | 10 days 10mg | 2/7/2017 | 5 | Allergies | None | Didn't cover all of my allergy symptoms before I got allergy shots, but worked significantly better than all other antihistamines on the market. Post allergy shots, it covers all symptoms year round without side effects. | F | 26 | 10 years 5 mg 1X day | 9/22/2016 | 5 | Severe Allergic Rhinitis | Sleepiness, but only towards the evening when I take it. I usually wake up refreshed. | I have struggled a lot with finding the right allergy medication, and this was a miracle med! | F | 21 | 7 days 5 mg 1X day | 8/10/2016 | 5 | allergy | i sleep more, that's good | perfect, if i take it on the evening any allerfy simptom literally disappears the next morning | M | 20 | 5 1X day | 5/14/2016 | 5 | allergist prescribed for chronic co | Cough has decreased greatly..I like that this drug seems to put me in a deep sleep..I wake up refreshed. Very satisfied. .coughing was such a nuisance..decreased about 90 % in my opinion. I feel "clear." | F | 65 | 5 days 5 mg | 2/6/2016 | 5 | Chronic sinusitis | No side effects. It's the only drug that keeps sinus headaches and congestion at bay. I've had 6 sinus surgeries prior to using xyzal. Haven't had hives since using this either. | F | 53 | 5 years 5mg | 10/12/2015 | 5 | allergies | Miracle drug, wonderful, knocked it out medicine. | Highly recommend. | M | 16 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 3/14/2014 | 5 | Severe allergies and severe asthma | I have taken every allergy medicine out there with no success. Even taking 10mg of Xyzal a day I still have bad allergies, but it is the best it has been in years. Since increasing to 10mg my asthma has improved slightly and I don't use my rescue inhaler as often. Luckily I have no side effects from it, because it has been the best thing that has happened to me!! | F | 27 | 6 months 10mg | 8/30/2013 | 5 | Severe Allergies/Asthma | I have had no negative side effects. Overall I do not mind taking this medication. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is suffering from allergies. | F | 24 | 2 years 5 1X day | 2/26/2013 | 5 | Fall Allergies | None | I'm into my 2nd fall season with this drug. It's the BEST. It has literally saved me from terrible fall allergies. I'm so thankful for it. | F | 38 | 1 years 5 MG 1X day | 10/20/2012 | 5 | Year around allergies | No side effects; works wonderfully | I'm curious if after a length of time your body can build up a resistance to XYZAL? I've been on it for over 3 years with no issues and all of the sudden it's like I'm not even taking anything for my allergies at all - sneezing, running nose (clear), itchy-burning-scratchy eyes, eye drainage, etc... Maybe my dosage just needs to be increased? Or should I ask the doctor for a different prescribtion? | F | 46 | 3 years 10 MG 1X day | 10/16/2012 | 5 | Sever sinus pressure when flying | I am supposed to take this once a day, if I miss a day or 2 by accident my hands get unbearably itchy!! | Xyzal works for what I need it for, I used to have extreme pain while flying or even just driving to higher altitude locations, but those days are over now :) | F | 25 | 1 years 5 mg 1X day | 2/18/2012 | 5 | Chronic Sinus Infections and Hives | Get very itchy for a week or two if I stop taking Xyzal, but have found taking Claritin for that time makes the itching go away. | I had chronic sinus infections while taking other allergy medicines (primarily Claritin and Allegra). Xyzal has been the only allergy med that keeps my allergies under control and doesn't make me super tried. | F | 21 | 3 years 5 MG 1X day | 5/31/2011 |
XYZAL (LEVOCETIRIZINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE): Levocetirizine is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, and sneezing. It is also used to relieve itching and hives. It works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Levocetirizine does not prevent hives or prevent/treat a serious allergic reaction (such as anaphylaxis). If your doctor has prescribed epinephrine to treat allergic reactions, always carry your epinephrine injector with you. Do not use levocetirizine in place of your epinephrine. FDA Approval Date: 2007-05-25 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
