What medication is most effective in the treatment of hives?!
Question: claratin, zyrtec, benadryl, or something else?
Answers: claratin, zyrtec, benadryl, or something else?
The key is to get an: Antihistamine. (this is what stops the allergic reaction)
Benadryl is a 1st generation antihistamine
zyrtec and claratin are both 2nd generation antihistamines.
So Benadryl is better.
Also, I find that Chlor-trimeton has excellent results like benadryl, without the sleepiness. It is also a 1st generation antihistamine.
Hives is a serious symptom of allergic reactions-next step is breathing difficulty. So whatever gave you hives try to not take it again.
For severe allergic reactions: they give epinephrine and prednisone.
BE CAREFUL!
Benadryl
benedryl has always worked for me.
check with your Dr.what is causing your hives? benadryl is the best at this point in time.
