Nope, it's cetirizine, the other one you mentioned doesn't work, and Benadryl makes me sleepy. Looking at the bottle, it doesn't even list rashes or anything - just seasonal allergies lol

Yeah it's wild that they don't really make it obvious that antihistamines works pretty much anywhere or any way for allergies.

I'm allergic to Benadryl which means if I ever I'm having an allergic reaction to something else I'm allergic to I can't treat the hives with Benadryl, but Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, all are somewhat effective in treating it. But man cetirizine is definitely the best one.

A few years ago I had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin I was taking from having strep throat which caused me to break out in hives and swell my face up. I was given citirizine and told to stop taking the amoxicillin.
