Probably not: It's important to avoid mixing alcohol (which can lead to drowsiness and impaired reaction time) with Benadryl (diphenhydramine) an antihistamine that can also lead to drowsiness and impaired reaction time.

Question 6

is 4 cc of benadryl (diphenhydramine) safe for a 1 year old?

Accepted Answer

Be careful.: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is so commonly used that many use it indiscriminately. A young child in daycare near me died from an overdose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) recently. There are various strengths of Diphenhydramine available--so 4cc of one might be safe, 4cc of another might be deadly. Since the correct dose is weight and age dependent, and can be influenced by the use of other drugs, it would be best if you called your md.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

With caution: Although technically no drug-drug interactions are listed for the 2, both cause sedation & might have an additive effect. Be sure how the combination will affect you before operating machinery or driving. People have been cited for dui from Benadryl (diphenhydramine) alone.

Accepted Answer

One or two: 25mg capsules should be ok, but confirm that this is ok with your obstetrician.

Question 10

is it safe to take claritan and benadryl (diphenhydramine) together?

Accepted Answer

Yep!: They are both antihistamines, with a difference. Benedryl is sedating, has to be taken 3-4 times a day, and may need to be reserved for bedtime dosing. Claritin (loratadine) is a once-a-day, nonsedating antihistamine, and can be taken any time of day. One common technique for using combination antihistamines for severe symptoms would be morning Claritin (loratadine) and bedtime benedryl.
