A member asked:
Will xyzal help during an allergic reaction as much as benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xyzal (levocetirizine): Xyzal and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) are both antihistamines. Everyone responds differently to allergy medicine so it is whichever works best with the fewest side effects.
