Question 1

is it possible for me to take benodryl with levothyroxine?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: You can safely take both medications together providing that you adhere to the recommended doses.

Question 2

i took a benedryl  than without thinking took my next days dose of meds. 12 hours since dose 25 mg atenolol, 25 mg hydrodiazide, .125 mg levothyroxine?

Accepted Answer

Unwise but: Although it is unwise to take a higher dose of prescribed medications, i presume the peak drug levels in your blood have passed by now.  Thus no permanent damage is expected.   Be sure to resume taking the next doses of medications on the scheduled day. This means that if you had taken the extra dose 12 hrs after the last dose, you should wait 36 hours before taking the next dose.

Question 3

can chronic autoimmune urticaria go into remission? will taking levothyroxine for thyroid help stop the hives without taking antihistamines?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The average duration of chronic hives lasts for 5-6 years and thus remission is indeed possible. As for thyroid, I have only had one patient with thyroid antibodies benefited from thyroid replacement out of the many hundreds I have seen over the years. Usually antihistamine would be needed. Studies so far with thyroid replacement have mostly been negative.

Question 4

is it safe to take 4  benadryl, 50 mg?

Accepted Answer

Not good idea: This will not kill you but will likely make you very drowsy, thirsty (dry mouth), and/or constipated.  It may also lead to rapid heart beats.   Why do you feel that you need that many?

Question 5

does taking benadryl daily help lupus?

Accepted Answer

: Benadryl is an antihistamine.  Lupus is a collagen-vascular disease, with multiple organ potential involvement.  There is absolutely no way that Benadryl would improve any of this, unless used to treat an allergic response to an indicated medication.

Question 6

can taking benadryl cause acquired lqts?

Accepted Answer

Rarely.: In people who have congenital LQTS, benadryl can cause heart arrythmias by making their underlying problem worse. In people with normal QT, very large doses or overdoses of benadryl can prolong the QT and have serious or fatal consequences. Bendaryl is a medicine to avoid if you have LQTS, and only one of many factors to consider if you have the acquired version. Speak to a cardiologist.

Question 7

can i take benadryl if i have prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, usually a bacterial infection.  Benadryl won’t help, but it won’t hurt either

Question 8

side effects of benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Dried up and sleepy: Why would you want to take benadry (the brand name for diphenhydramine) long term?  Fagetaboutit.   Side effects are drying of mucous membrane, drowsiness, fatigue, difficulty urinating...

Question 9

is benadryl (diphenhydramine) good for sinus?

Accepted Answer

Only in the: Sense that it could help dry up secretions, or decrease an allergic component of nasal congestion.

Question 10

is loratadine like benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Kinda mostly: Loratadine is a 'non-sedating antihistamine, ' and Diphenhydramine (/benadryl) is a sedating antihistamine (aka: older / h1 & h2 blocker), so yes, they are close cousins in intended effects--just differ in side effects.
