A member asked:
Can benedryl be taken with zyrtec (cetirizine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: These are both antihistamines and i'd not recommend using them at the same time because their effects could be potentiated/stronger than normal. The biggest side effects to expect from either drug is drowsiness.
