A member asked:
Why do i gain weight when i dont eat much? i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night, was taking 2 50mg and now im taking one, does benadryl (diphenhydramine) have too much salt in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But the older antihistamines may increase some people's appetite and thus the weight gain. The answers= newer type of AH, eat less, exercise more.
