A member asked:
Is it okay to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) with aller tec (by kirklands) for an allergic reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessary: Allertec contains Cetirizine (zyrtec) which is a very good new generation antihistamine. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an older antihistamine that doesn't last as long and has more side effects. Likely the main issue with using both together at usual doses would be drowsiness, fatigue and delayed reaction time.
