(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! The key is to get an: Antihistamine. (this is what stops the allergic reaction)
