Please be forwarned if you think you might be ordering Zyrtec from this Canadian Pharmacy!!!

NoRyZyrtec.com, after many associated emails and promises sent me medicine for my 15 year old daughter that to my disbelief arrived in an opened bottle, the label crossed through,the number of tablets scratched through, and the pills inside the bottle were blue and unmarked. The label stated it was Arius, but the pills had no such markings, numbers, or letters. I was shocked!!!!

Immediately contacting the company NoRxZyrtec.com by email, and by phone, brought no solution whatsoever... I received an email but no phone call. Thier emails told me not to take the medicine and they would check it out and get back to me. I have not heard responses from them, after many emails to them, I only receive that they are checking it out.

Then to my astonishment I received my credit card bill and have been charged twice for medicine that I have not received. I have all associated correspondence with this company on file to back up this story.

Please do not do business with this company. They are knowingly sending out the wrong medication and fraudulent billing practices. Did they really expect me to give my kids opened, unmarked medication??? This really pisses me off!!!

Why are you ordering medication from Canada?

Why are you ordering medication for your child,from another country, through the internet? I just checked out the website you ordered through. First of all, this company is lying about the dosage for children.

They tell you to give it to your kid twice a day, when in fact the manufactor of Zrtec says to give it to your kid only once a day. That will not be good for your child. What can happen if you overdose your child is below- direct from the maker's website.

This is based on what they found with a couple of people. With the rushing they do to put products on the market, the studies usually are preformed on men.

THEY DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE SIDE EFFECTS YET! I've been taking a medication for 20 years, and they just found out about the fatal side effect last year! Be more careful please! I'm sure you wouldn't do anything to intentionally harm your child. Remember, ordering presciption medication without a prescription pretty much voids out any recourse you have against a company. (since it's illegal) Even though it's Canada we're talking about here, it's still a different country.

OVERDOSAGE
Overdosage has been reported with ZYRTEC. In one adult patient who took 150 mg of ZYRTEC, the patient was somnolent but did not display any other clinical signs or abnormal blood chemistry or hematology results. In an 18 month old pediatric patient who took an overdose of ZYRTEC (approximately 180 mg), restlessness and irritability were observed initially; this was followed by drowsiness. Should overdose occur, treatment should be symptomatic or supportive, taking into account any concomitantly ingested medications.

There is no known specific antidote to ZYRTEC. ZYRTEC is not effectively removed by dialysis, and dialysis will be ineffective unless a dialyzable agent has been concomitantly ingested.

The acute minimal lethal oral doses were 237 mg/kg in mice (approximately 95 times the maximum recommended daily oral dose in adults on a mg/m2 basis, or approximately 55 times the maximum recommended daily oral dose in children on a mg/m2 basis) and 562 mg/kg in rats (approximately 460 times the maximum recommended daily oral dose in adults on a mg/m2 basis, or approximately 270 times the maximum recommended daily oral dose in children on a mg/m2 basis). In rodents, the target of acute toxicity was the central nervous system, and the target of multiple-dose toxicity was the liver.
