What Causes Itchy Rashes On Body While On Zyrtec For Histamine Overreaction Problem?

I have been taking zyrtec for histamine overreaction problems...I get rashes and itching daily. Four days ago, I found out I was pregnant and saw this drug listed as class B. My itch is driving me crazy in the last couple of days because I stopped taking it. Should I take it? Is class B bad? Is there an alternative since I can t find any antihistamines in class A?

Yes you are right. But you can take cetrizine now and again to relieve itch. I have not noticed any developmental effect on foetus by using cetrizine.
