Is there anything else because I can't find that.
Loradatine?
Tylenol nighttime cold and sinus?

Remember the main idea behind taking an antihystime is to dry up cm around O time. I had tons of EWCM a few days before O. Zyrtek helped dry it right up and it was a non issue for me at O. If you don't have tons of EWCM you may not need it at all.
I bought the generic Cetirizine tablets I found at the drug store instead of brand name Zyrtek. They worked just fine. Maybe you can find the generic if you can't find the actual brand name Zyrtek? I don't think it's sold as Zyrtek in Canada. Check your drug store and if you can't find it ask your pharmacist for the generic Cetirizine, that is if you even need it. Good luck!

I also found generic cetirizine (as well as Zyrtec, but picked the generic because it was a lot cheaper). But I had to travel to the nearest big city to find it.
Could you find it online perhaps?

generic is fine. does not have to be actual zyrtec, can be storebrand cetirizine.
i can get it in my small town, may have to do with where you live.

I used a nighttime Cold and sinus. It contains antihistamines. It definitely worked!

I would stay away from anything containing pseudoephedrine tho, it may not be safe for women to take.

It has been shown to cause strokes in young women, particularly those on blood thinners (aka cranberry and baby aspirin). It's the other type of stroke, where your brain starts to bleed. Risk was highest in those who used it habitually and at the upper doses. I really, really recommend against you continuing to take it so often. Whether you are swaying or if you're using it for energy/weight control, it's a really bad idea that has killed and put healthy young women into wheelchairs for life.

I use it for allergies. I have chronic sinus pressure. Ick I'll stop considering I'm already high risk for strokes!
