A member asked:

Can benadryl (diphenhydramine) help with low blood pressure?

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

No: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not a medication meant for treating low blood pressure. In certain, more severe forms of allergic reactions, blood pressure may drop and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may be helpful however it is usually administered in an urgent/emergent manner.
