Question 1

how long does it take for benedryl to work?

Accepted Answer

Depends: if taken on empty stomach, 30 minutes should be enough to feel its effect, if on a full stomach takes longer, check that you have taken the right dose, also depends on the expected effect, to induce sleep, might not work similarly in every individual, if for itching/ allergy problems might need something else to get  symptom control, at any rate don't exceed recommended dosage from all sources

Question 2

how long does it take benedryl to go out of your system?

Accepted Answer

About 3 days: The metabolism of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Diphenhydramine to decrease by half (called the half-life) is about 8 hours (except for children and elderly). With this in mind, it is typically out of the system in about 3 days (at least for allergy testing purposes).

Question 3

can i take a benedryl and nitequil?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These will not sum together or interact so both will have a useful effect.

Question 4

can i take a benedryl after one drink?

Accepted Answer

Preferrably not: I would not mix Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and alcohol as both are sedating and you may become incapacitated.

Question 5

is it safe to take benedryl every day?

Accepted Answer

WHY?: Probably.
 It has been a very safe drug for decades.
Some indications and side effects- well documented.
Get list from pharmacist.

Question 6

can i take chlor-trimeton and benedryl ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: ...The combination will likely make you very sleepy.  If you are needing 2 medications that are essentially the same to be able to control your symptoms, you should instead talk to your doctor to try other safer alternatives.

Question 7

is it possible for you to take clariton on top of benedryl?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: You can take both medications at the same time providing that you follow the recommended otc doses.

Question 8

i took benedryl when i was young and swelled up. can i take clariten or something else?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: Try loratadine (claritin), preferably in an ER/urgent care waiting room, stay for an hour after ingesting the first dose, if nothing happens, leave. It is rare for antihistamines to cause such side effect or allergy to the drug. Claritin is a different class of antihistamines, hopefully you won't have the same problem with,  if it causes problems as Benadryl, (diphenhydramine)  see your doctor
