Is Reactine more effective than Benadryl? Can the dosage be increased to gain control over the reaction?

It depends on the individual's reaction and tolerance to each medication. Generally, Benadryl is more effective for skin issues but can cause drowsiness and has a shorter duration of action. Reactine, on the other hand, lasts for 24 hours and may take a few days to reach optimal effect. A combination of both medications can be used for a short period to control the reaction, but Reactine should be used alone once the issue is stabilized. In more severe cases, a higher dose of Reactine may be necessary. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
