Can a toddler take Zyrtec in the AM and benadrol at night time?

Answer 1

Yes, Zyrtec or cetirizine is a great medication if the child is experiencing any Allergies, and there are hardly any known side effects. Benadryl is also a safe medication and will act also as a sleep aid for the night time. Zyrtec should be available in 5 and 10 mg tablets while benadryl will come as 25 and 50 mg capsules. Both also have a liquid formulation. I would stick with the lower doses on each.

Answer 2

Yes, there are no drug interactions between melatonin and zyrtec. Although, if you take any prescription drugs, check with your doctor first.

Answer 3

You can, but both medications work for 24 hours. So it would be best if you gave your 6 year old one or the other.
