Yes it can help with allergies.-Also used for hey fever.-
Zyrtec-D (cetirizine and pseudoephedrine) is a non-prescription ("over-the-counter") medication approved to treat the following allergy symptoms:
Nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing itchy, or watery eyes and itchy nose or throat.
I will give you two alternatives which I believe will also help you-.
Over-the-counter medicine for poison ivy will work for many people. It is recommended that you try one of these products before going to see a doctor in mild or minor cases of outbreak. Ask your pharmacist.-
TechNu--this also works well as a preventive measure when used as a lotion before coming into contact
IvyRest--this works similarly to TechNu
Benadryl--this can be taken internally
