Consumers searching for Children’s Zyrtec Chewable Tablets to treat their kids’ allergies will have a long wait until the over-the-counter medication is back on store shelves.
Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare is moving production of Children’s Zyrtec chewables from an outside supplier to its in-house manufacturing, a move that will keep the product out of stores until 2012.
Unlike other Zyrtec products that were part of one of McNeil’s staggering run of recalls last year, this was a “planned transition” and the product is not under recall.
The product will be unavailable through the rest of the 2011.
People they should talk with their pharmacists and doctors to determine what would be the best alternative medicine for their children’s allergy symptoms. Zyrtec liquid gels and tablets are still available and can be taken by children age 6 and older.
