A member asked:
Can taking a tablet of xyzal help to blunt an allergic reaction to a drug as fast & effectively as benadryl (diphenhydramine) would?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: You don't describe what kind of a reaction and what drug you are asking about. Depending on the medication and reaction, medications other than anti-histamines may be necessary. If you are asking about an itchy rash, odds are that the 2 medications may be equvally effective.
