A member asked:
Do you think it could be ok to take diphenhydramine before going under anesthesia?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) (diphenyhydramine) is sometimes given to patient's undergoing anesthesia to help prevent allergic reactions, or in some cases to provide some mild sedation. If you do take it please let your anesthesiologist know. However, it should not be a problem with your anesthetic.
