A member asked:
I took regular sudafed a few hours ago. can i take a benadryl (diphenhydramine) before i go to bed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) ins an antihistamine, and sudafed is a decongestant. There is no problem taking them together at their recommended dosages, as long as you don't have any medical conditions in which these medications are not recommended (check with your doctor if you are unsure).
