A member asked:

Why has benadryl (diphenhydramine) stopped selling their quick dissolve strips? (can't find them online or in stores)

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Only the maker knows: Since Benadryl (diphenhydramine) in any form does not work any faster than the rest, I suspect that the manufacturer has stopping making it due to lack of demand. However there are many potential causes including problem with the FDA or manufacturing.
