ZYRTEC® expands allergy offering with ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray

ZYRTEC®, a trusted Australian allergy brand is growing three times as fast as the category as a whole*, and now has ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray in its allergy portfolio, offering pharmacy a complete and effective range of solutions to suit every allergy occasion.

Almost 20% of the Australian population has an allergy and this number is increasing1.

Allergic rhinitis (or hay fever), one of the most common allergies, affects around 15% of Australians, or about 3.1 million people. Furthermore, females among the age of 25–44 report being affected by Allergic Rhinitis more commonly than men2.

No one wants to hibernate in Spring but for allergy sufferers, this pleasant time of year can leave them looking and feeling less than their best. Their allergies can impact the quality of their life, and can prevent them from going to work, catching up with friends or family, or enjoying sports or hobbies. So that allergies don’t get in the way of life, ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray provides customers with targeted, on-the-go relief from sneezing and a runny or itchy nose. With a non-drowsy formula, ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray delivers relief within minutes and lasts for hours, so they can get back to enjoying life the way they want to.

“Unexpected allergy flare ups can be incredibly disruptive to one’s daily routine and cause significant frustration and stress,”

said Sonya King, Group Marketing Manager, Johnson & Johnson Pacific Pty Limited.

“We know that customers with allergies often keep their tablets at home and forget to carry any relief with them should they experience any allergy flare up triggered while out and about. ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray provides fast relief you can see, so people can get back to enjoying their day quickly,” Ms. King added.

“Now with the addition of ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray to the range, pharmacy can offer customers the biggest range of allergy product solutions available from one trusted brand – including tablets and liquid capsules, eye drops, kids’ liquid and drops, and a nasal spray – providing an easy, convenient and effective solution for allergy sufferers ,” Ms. King concluded.

ZYRTEC® Nasal Spray RRP is $14.99; however, pharmacies may set prices for the product at their discretion.

The complete ZYRTEC® range includes:

• ZYRTEC® Tablets – fast acting, 24-hour relief from multiple allergy symptoms
