A member asked:
Can you take benadryl (diphenhydramine) if you are taking other types of medication for allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The limiting factor as to how much antihistamine one can take is generally what the side-effects are. If it makes you too sleepy when combined with other anti-histamines then you should be careful about combining them.
