What is BENADRYL ONE A DAY 10MG?
BENADRYL ONE A DAY contains Cetirizine Dihydrochloride (10mg per tablet), an active ingredient that blocks histamine, a chemical in the body responsible for allergic reactions. This makes it effective in treating symptoms like:
- Sneezing
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy or watery eyes

- Skin rashes, including hives (urticaria)
How Does BENADRYL ONE A DAY 10MG Work?
