A member asked:
Is it safe to give both benedryl and claritin (loratadine) to my 4 yr old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: You do not need to give both as they have the same effect. Depending on what you are trying to treat and control, another medication may be more beneficial as an add on.
