I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this question but I can't seem to find a shred of evidence for either side. Common sense tells me it's probably okay but I'd never let my pup be a guinea pig.
My Labrador suddenly came down with a staph allergy so our vet put him on a cephalexin antibiotic regimen. Hopefully this will help him fight it and at least start to clear it up, but the problem is that the poor guy is going mad with the itching. I've been applying neosporin and hydrocortisone cream to all of the hot spots, and it helps (as long as I can keep him from licking it off until it soaks in) some, but there are just so many that it's next to impossible to cover them all.
I had been giving him benedryl along with the neosporin/hydrocortisone treatment, and it helped immensely. But now that he's on this antibiotic, I don't know whether it's safe to continue giving him benedryl.
While I think it probably wouldn't hurt him (especially since dogs have such a high tolerance to diphenhydramine) to mix the two, I don't want to do it until I know for sure. At this point I'm just smothering him in cream and hoping that the meds work quickly, but it hurts me to see him itching so bad. If ANYBODY knows anything on this subject, please let us all know. I'll ask the doc on Monday and hopefully I'll have an answer then. Again I apologize for not having a solution to this question, but I hope that the info I have given will help to some extent.

Can you take augmentin and Benadryl together?
Both medications are prescribed/taken together, but since the Benadryl is OTC, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist. If you are taking the Benadryl because you have gotten a rash from taking the amoxicillin, stop taking the amoxicillin and report the reaction!! You will need to insert a medical alert in your records that you have had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin...which means you will not be able to take any other member of the penicillin family: Augmentin, Cloxapen, Trimox, Bactocil, Veetids, etc..
