If you are itching (particularly if it is accompanied by hives), you may be having an allergic reaction. Stop taking the medication immediately and talk to your doctor. In the meantime, oral diphenhydramine (Benadryl) will relieve the itching (25 to 50 mg or 1 to 2 tablets is the adult dose). It will make you sleepy, so stick around home after you take it. If you begin have difficulty breathing, swollen tongue or lips, or feel as if you will faint, get to an emergency room or call 911. For many people, itching is as far as it will go; HOWEVER, you cannot determine this alone - you must talk to your doctor (with a true allergic reaction, repeated exposure has the potential to become more serious - ie, next time it might be the breathing symptoms); most likely, your doctor will prescribe a different medication. Hope this helps!

Can you take Benadryl with oxycodone?
Yes you can take them together, however Beandyl {diphenhydramine hydrochloride} can and usually will potentiate the opiates. That is to say will make Vicodins effects more pronounced, but as a side benefit it will help relieve the itching that Vicodin and other opiates can cause.If you don't mind the sleepiness the Benadryl will most likely cause and are careful not to drive, fall down or otherwise harm yourself because you are more messed up than with the Vicodin alone you can take them both. Improved Answer Actually, antihistaminics don't make opiates more powerful... there is NO action on pain receptor. The only "additive" effect might be on the drowsiness caused by both drugs. If you have itching from Vicodin, you'll get more benefit by switching to another opiate. Benadryl will only relieve in part the itching, and causing more drowsiness.

Is pulmicort an antihistamine?
No, cortisone is a corticosteroid medication. Corticosteroids are normally produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands. You can take them as a medication because, as part of the endocrine system, they reduce the inflammation response, and can lessen swelling and itching. With respect to their use, they are often faster-acting and better at alleviating swelling and itching than antihistamines, and they have less side effects. However, long-term use can have negative consequences.
