A member asked:
Is claritin comparable to benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both AH: Both act in similar fashion except that Benadryl (diphenhydramine) causes drowsiness and dry mouth in a much higher percentage of people and it works for just a few hours vs claritin's nearly 24 hours duration of action.
