No, it doesn't look like there is a direct cause to that particular disease, but they have found that consistent, long-term use of Benadyrl and drugs like it can be linked to cognitive impairment and dementia.

Can Benadryl cause alzheimers?

In caring for an Alzheimer's sufferer, I found that diphenhydramine (Benadryl) significantly worsened symptoms for several days after her 2nd night of taking a 25mg dose. The issue was not daytime drowsiness, or loss of balance. It was a stepwise drop in cognitive ability, cooperativeness, and emotional stability. Antihistamines reduce one's response to pathogens. Perhaps the effect that diphenhydramine has on Alzheimer's patients points to a possible cause or mechanism for the disease. Any research to support this apparent link?

Can Benadryl cause dandruff in dogs?

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine commonly used to treat allergies in dogs, but it is not known to directly cause dandruff. However, if a dog experiences side effects such as dry skin or dehydration from Benadryl, this could indirectly contribute to dandruff. Additionally, underlying allergies or skin conditions that require Benadryl might also be the root cause of the dandruff. Always consult a veterinarian before administering any medication to your pet.
