Who owns zyrtec?

Who makes Zyrtec today?

Zyrtec (cetirizine) is owned and marketed by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, which is part of Johnson & Johnson.

What’s the broader company behind Zyrtec’s brand?

Because McNeil Consumer Healthcare is a Johnson & Johnson company, Zyrtec is ultimately under Johnson & Johnson’s ownership umbrella.

Does “ownership” mean the drug is still patented by the same company?

Brand ownership and patent or exclusivity status are different. Even when the brand is marketed by a specific company, cetirizine itself is widely available as generics in many markets. That means multiple manufacturers may sell cetirizine under different labels while the original brand remains associated with the original marketer.
