What is better for allergic reaction swelling. vistiril or benadryl (diphenhydramine). or are they the same. i'm told vistiril is stronger. i have vistiril 50mg?

Almost equal: for allergic reaction, hydroxyzine is precription only though, but you suffer that often and have swelling, better be evaluated, as epinephrine might need to be handy too, goodluck
