A member asked:
What's better for hives, zantac 150 or benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is better than zantac. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an h1 blocker, zantac is not. I like Allegra more than Benadryl (diphenhydramine) because Allegra does not cause drowsiness.
