A member asked:

Can you tell me is it ok to take zyrtec for daytime and benadryl (diphenhydramine) for night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it is ok: Yes it is ok as long as you are using it for short period when your allergy symptoms are not controlled with zyrtec (cetirizine) and you are not able to sleep due to allergy symptoms.
