Frequently asked questions
Both are second-generation antihistamines. Loratadine is less likely to cause drowsiness, making it better for daytime use. Cetirizine may be slightly more effective but can cause mild sedation in some people.
Most cold and flu medications are available over the counter. Antiviral medications like Tamiflu require a prescription and are most effective when taken within 48 hours of symptom onset.
