A member asked:
Is pseudoephedrine safe for asthma as well as loratadine both in claritin d because i know benadryl (diphenhydramine) as an antihistamine is contraindicated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both of those: medications are not contraindicated in asthma. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not contraindicated in asthma. Many asthmatics have allergies which are treated with antihistamines of which benadryl (diphenhydramine) is the gold standard.
