Question 1

can i take claritin with benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Antihistamine is safe even with 4x the average daily dose.  The major side effects would be dry mouth and drowsiness ( the latter much less common if one uses the non-sedating type).  I believe reactine is equivalent to Claritin (loratadine) in the us.  Short answer- it is ok.

Question 2

cani take benadryl (diphenhydramine) with loratadine?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes.: Many people report their 'daily' non-sedating antihistamine in the am does not provide relief until next am. So, if no concerns for gu/heart/bp/med-conflict issues, then they often take a 'sedating' antihistamine at night for continued symptom relief and 'bonus' of sleep aid effect.

Question 3

2 antihistamines: Even though both Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Claritin are both antihistamines, there should not be significant interaction or side effects if taken at the usual doses.

Question 4

Question 6

can you take benadryl (diphenhydramine) and claritin together ?
