Diphenhydramine (also known under the brand names of Benadryl in the US or Nytol in the UK) is a potentiator for codeine. This means the effects of codeine are increased if taken in combination with diphenhydramine. The chances of an overdose are therefore increased when taking diphenhydramine alongside codeine.
