Alllecet for what?: Allecet - is being take for what? Each film-coated ALLECET tablet contains 10 mg cetirizine dihydrochloride. Other antihistamines are benadryl - diphenhydramine. Allecet is less likely to cause a fatigued feeling while diphenhydramien will. The other meds are steroids and you should only use these on rare occasions if at all. You need to discuss this with your physician.
