Was on xyzal (levocetirizine) for med allergies & chronic hives. didn't like it so now trying allegra. will allegra protect me during an alrgc reaction just as well?

Probably: It will likely work just as well as xyzal (levocetirizine) but for some unknown reason, some people tend to respond better to one antihistamine than others.
