A member asked:
Can you give benadryl (diphenhydramine) after giving citirizine ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The combination of the two medications can cause increased drowsiness. If you have already taken Cetirizine for allergies and need something for breakthrough symptoms, you can use benadryl, (diphenhydramine) but i would not routinely use them together.
