A member asked:
Can i take claritin with 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). I believe reactine is equivalent to Claritin (loratadine) in the us. Short answer- it is ok.
