Xyzal, pronounced Zy-Zall, is an allergy pill that treats your indoor and outdoor allergies all year round. Xyzal is also used to treat chronic hives and rashes. 

My Experience with Xyzal

I have been using Xyzal for about 2 years now and I love it. It is the ONLY oral medicine that I feel like actually works. In all my 20 years of living with eczema, I have gotten prescriptions upon prescriptions of medicines that just don't do anything. However, that changed when I was introduced to Xyzal. 

I take Xyzal off and on depending on when I feel I need it the most. These past few weeks I started taking it again because my skin started to hurt.. It wasn't breaking out quite yet, but it was just in so much pain. I immediately leaned towards this oral medication and had instant relief from the pain within the day. I will say again, this is one medicine I will swear by and would and have recommended it to other people. 

Xyzal is Prescription Only

This oral treatment is not an over the counter medicine. You have to be given a prescription by your doctor first. If you don't have medical insurance, it can be quite expensive. Before my insurance kicks in, the cost is $131.39 for 30 5 mg tablets.

On that note, while Xyzal is still being sold, there is a new generic brand that is cheaper, but still quite expensive. The generic name of Xyzal is Levocetirizine and I have no clue how to tell you how to pronounce that =P Anyways, the retail price before insurance for the generic brand is $92.99.

Xyzal Alternative

Because not everyone has the luxury of being able to go to the doctor and filling prescriptions, I will tell you what my doctor told me. 

Xyzal is like a stronger form of the allergy pill Zyrtec. I love Zyrtec as well. Actually when I don't have the Xyzal, that is what I take. One time I told my doctor that I love Zyrtec because it is the only allergy pill that seemed to help me before I received Xyzal and that is when he told me that Xyzal is just a stronger version of Zyrtec. 

Zyrtec is much cheaper than Xyzal and you don't have to pay the doctor visit fee to purchase it.
