A member asked:
Can i take prednisone, zantac and benadryl (diphenhydramine) for allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: It is bit much, especially the prednisone. And the Benadryl (diphenhydramine) makes most people sleepy. I would recommend a non-sedating antihistamine, such as loratadine, cetirizine, or fexofenadine.
