A member asked:
I am sensitive to nsaids, including aspirin (get mild hives.) is dramamine (dimenhydrinate) safe for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is safe: Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) is an antihistamine and therfore can be used to treat the hives you experience. A better choice would be to avoid Aspirin and ibuprofen, substituting acetaminophen.
