A member asked:
Can you take benadryl (diphenhydramine) if you took reactine about 12 hours ago, but eyes are really itchy now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no problem in taking antihistamines, even in various combinations up to 4 times per day. Antihistamine eye drop however will likely be more effective in reducing eye itching.
