A member asked:

Took 1 25 mg benedryl for allergy relief. struggling with wheezing so took 1 puff proair inhaler. do i need to worry about interactions?

Allergy: You may be having an airway inflammation reactive to an allergen. There is no problem with benadryl (diphenhydramine) and proair. I am more concerned about you being pregnant and experiencing restrictive airway. If this persists, please consult your doctor. You may need more aggressive bronchodilator / inhaler treatment.

No: Proair is a bronchodilator and helps Wheezing. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is Antihistaminics nd helps Allergy symptoms.

Need alternative to zirtec for allergy-induced asthma. Allegra and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) don't work, nor albuterol asthma inhalars. Claritin gives me nasal pain.
