I automatically assumed some high school chemistry experiment gone wrong. Nothing so dramatic was found. If you take it with fruit juice, about a third of the medicine can disappear and not be absorbed into your body. It’s recommended that you should wait 4 hours after taking the medicine or you’re going to have a chance of decreasing the medicine’s effectiveness. I think if the commercial told us WHY you shouldn’t drink fruit juice with Allegra and how long you have to wait it might’ve been better.

Seriously, who’s going to switch medications because Allegra can’t be taken with juice? Is there a freaking water shortage or something?” (Guess you aren’t the ONLY ONE that caught on to the fact that Zyrtec didn’t have anything to really say about their product!!!)
