I WAS TOLD BY MY DOCTOR TO TAKE ZERTEC FOR MY HAND ECZEMA. I HAD OPEN CRACKS ON ALL MY FINGERS. VERY PAINFUL. THE ZERTEC HELPED HEAL THEM. BUT--- ZERTEC MAKES ME VERY SLEEPY. IS THERE ANOTHER PRODUCT LIKE ZERTEC THAT IS NON DROWSY. I BELIEVE THE INGREDIENT IN ZERTEC IS CERTIZINE.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this drowsiness you experienced while on zyrtec. This is an antihistamine that are commonly used for allergies. You can try loratadine in place of zyrtec as it dies not cause drowsiness.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be.
