A member asked:

Can i take a benadryl (diphenhydramine) with doxycycline mono 100mg; would it slow my recovery process?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No problem.: As long as you limit yourself to 50mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at a given time, using it every 4 hours as needed, there shouldn't be any problems with your recovery process. Take care.

It Should Be Fine: Doxycycline is for infections and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for allergies. There should not be any problems.
