As a pharmacy doctorate candidate I would say that it is not recommended to give Zyrtec and Benadryl together since they will both relieve allergy symptoms in similar ways. Zyrtec is best if you want non-drowsy relief. Benadryl would be best if you want the child to sleep. Both however, are effective.

Can I give benadryl to my 11 year old son who had a Zyrtec dose 12 hours before?
It's generally advisable to avoid giving Benadryl and Zyrtec (cetirizine) close together, as both are antihistamines and can increase the risk of side effects like drowsiness. Given that your son took Zyrtec 12 hours prior, it may still be in his system. Always consult with a healthcare professional or pediatrician before combining medications to ensure it is safe for your child's specific situation.
Can a toddler take Zyrtec in the AM and benadrol at night time?
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.

How much childrens liquid benadryl for a 3 pound chihuahua?
It's crucial to consult a veterinarian before administering any medication, including children's liquid Benadryl, to your dog. Generally, the typical dosage for dogs is around 1 mg of diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl) per pound of body weight, given every 8 to 12 hours. For a 3-pound Chihuahua, this would be approximately 3 mg per dose, but always confirm with your vet for the correct dosage and safety.

Can you take ibuprofen with Benadryl if you took xanax 5 hours ago?
Generally, it is considered safe to take ibuprofen and Benadryl together, even if you took Xanax 5 hours ago, as there are no direct interactions between these medications. However, both Benadryl and Xanax can cause sedation, so combining them may increase drowsiness. It's always best to consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your specific health situation.

Can you mix Aleve and Zyrtec?
Usually, yes, with no problem, and you can drive, too. However, I found if I downed aleve & Zyrtec all at once/together, I became really drowsy/fatigued. This only happened today, and I fell asleep for approx. 3 hours from 11:45am-2:52pm. If you take zyrtec (or aleve...1-2 pills for aleve, 1 for ALL day for zyrtec), space one of them apart. For instance, take the zyrtec (or aleve) first, wait 1-2+ hours, then take the aleve (or zyrtec). Spacing it out a bit leaves no reaction, at least in my experience. (also I am 25/Female, if that makes any difference...I take them both due to allergic reactions to bug bites/mosquito bites, & headaches/muscle aches).
How do you get benadryll out of your system?
The half-life of Benadryl is approximately 3.4 hours in adults. It takes around 5.5 x half-life for a drug to be fully eliminated from the body, so Benadryl would be mostly out of your system within 24 hours. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can help flush it out more quickly. If you have concerns about Benadryl in your system, consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
