A member asked:
Is it ok to take zyrtec after you've taken benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Antihistamine is safe even with 4x the average daily dose. The major side effects would be dry mouth and drowsiness ( the latter much less common if one uses the non-sedating type).
