How long does Zyrtec-D last?

I want to point out here that Zyrtec-D specifically only lasts around 12 hours per dose because it only contains 5mg of cetirizine. The usual adult dose is 10mg for 24-hour coverage. So, if you do take Zyrtec-D, just remember that you will need to take 2 doses for 24-hour coverage.
