A member asked:

Can a 19 month old child with a focal seizure, and is on trileptal, take benadryl which contains diphenhydramine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: The drug interaction evaluator operated by Web MD shows no potential interactions/negative events when using these two drugs at the same time.
