A member asked:
Is it ok to give a child loratadine in the morning and benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Since Loratadine does not cause drowsiness, adding a dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night for an allergic reaction or hives should not be a problem.
