I am currently on allegra d and it isn't working! My prescription plan will only cover zyrtec d or allegra d. Just wondering what the difference is and if zyrtec d will work for me or if it is the same as allegra d?

allegra d = 60 mg foxfenadine (antihistamine) plus 120 mg pseudoephedrine (decongestant)
zyrtec d = 5 mg cetirazine (antihistamine) plus 120 mg pseudoephedrine (decongestant)
Some people get better results with a different antihistamine so it would be worth a trial.
Try taking vitamin C 500 mg and pantothenic acid 500 mg daily for allergy relief. it helps some folks. Good luck.

Allegra D Ingredients

Previous answer from pharmacist is correct. Both contain pseudoephedrine, a decongestant that relieves stuffy noses by draining nasal passages. But they each contain a different anti histamine. Both are combination products, an anti histamine with a decongestant. Hence the brand names X-D....Y-D. D for Decongestant.
Some people have better results with one anti histamine, others do better on others. Use the combination product only if you have nasal congestion, otherwise, the single ingredient products Zyrtec and Allegra are all you need.
