Can you take benadryl (diphenhydramine) if you are already taking clotrimazole? and using external cream as well as the pill inserted.

Dr. Robert Kent answered

Specializes in Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine

Yes: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is fairly benign and should not have any issues with clotrimazole. Make sure to follow directions on all the meds. Make sure you do not drive or do anything else that increased fatigue or lethargy could cause issues with. Hope you feel better!
