Yes, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is affected by the first-pass effect. When taken orally, a portion of the drug is metabolized by the liver before it enters the systemic circulation, which can reduce its overall bioavailability. This means that the amount of active drug that reaches the bloodstream and exerts its effects may be less than the total dose taken. However, the clinical effects of Benadryl are still typically significant despite this metabolic process.
