Question 2

Accepted Answer

Question 3

can i take zyrtec and claritin together? or can i take zyrtec and benadryl (diphenhydramine) to boost the zyrtec?  will taking mucinex dm along with zyrtec help?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If your allergies are not controlled with one med alone, stepping up to a different med like flonase, nasonex, etc., will likely help you more than taking two antihistamines. Zyrtec and Claritin will not help much at all if you have a cold and not allergies, though Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can dry up secretions somewhat. You can add Mucinex if you also have a cough. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms.

Question 4

i have bug bites along my arm and shoulder (not mosquito) and the swelling/itching is pretty bad. is there anything i can take other than benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Bites: ice your itchy bites and put a topical steroid to help you with the rash

Question 5

should i take one or two pills of benadryl (diphenhydramine)? i had a breakout on my face with redness and itchiness, along with swelling around my eyes.?

Accepted Answer

You can take 50 mg: You may take 50 mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) every 6 hours for 24  to 48 hours, and if they don't clear, you need to see a physician.

Question 6

can i take diphenhydramine at night, along with nyquil. also, if i need to, can i take klonopin with nyquil or diphenhydramine?

Accepted Answer

: Your pharmacist will be able to cross check all your medicaions for possible drug drug interactions in their database. It is best to avoid diphenhydramine for the common cold.  Nyquil alone is usually effective in reducing symptoms. Monitor temperature and reduce fever as indicated. A COVID 19 screening test is recommended. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and prolonged cough.

Question 7

what happens if you take too much benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): It ususally makes you have a dry mouth and get very sleepy.

Question 8

is it okay if to take 2 benadryls (diphenhydramine) and i melatonin?

Accepted Answer

Doses?: Depends on the dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine).  If you have insomnia, sleep hygiene is an often overlooked, yet more effective treatment, than medications.  In addition, the combination of medications could impair decision making, cause undesired drowsiness, and other side effects.  Speak with your doctor, before taking any combination of medications.  Do not drive/operate heavy machinery under their influence.

Question 9

would it be ok to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) that expired in 11/09?

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Taking medication that expired almost 5 years ago is probably not a good idea.  It may be safe, but I don't know for sure.  If we were in the Zombie apocalypse and you had no other choice I would say go for it.  But since generic diphenhydramine is cheap, why don't you make a trip to your local store and buy some new.

Question 10

what would happen if someone takes a benadryl (diphenhydramine) & 5mg vicdion together?

Accepted Answer

More sleepy: Nothing serious at these low doses although you may feel more sleepy since the sedation effects of ech medicine add up. But it should be fine after 12-18 hours.
