The ingredient in Benadryl that causes drowsiness is diphenhydramine, an antihistamine. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that promotes wakefulness and alertness. By inhibiting histamine's effects in the central nervous system, diphenhydramine induces sedation and can lead to sleepiness. This is why it is often used as a sleep aid in addition to its allergy-relief properties.
Diphenhydramine - an antihistamine, the same ingredient that is in Benadryl
If the Triaminic has an "antihistamine" in it, then you don't need to take Benadryl. Benadryl is an antihistamine that usually stops the itchy nose/ears, and sneezing. If you look at the ingredient in Benadryl (plain Benadryl, it's pink) you will notice it's in a lot of cold medicines. It's also in some sleep medicines. It usually makes you drowsy, that is why.

Gas and Nausea from the Advil. Dipenhydramine will make you sleepy.
Diphenhydramine, the main ingredient in Benadryl, works by blocking histamine at receptor sites. It also decreases central nervous system function, causing drowsiness.
No, the active ingredient in Tylenol Night Time is the same as in Benadryl. (Diphenhydramine.)
It makes you sleepy
In Benadryl, the active ingredient is diphenhydramine, while the fillers or binders can vary by formulation. Common fillers include substances like lactose, starch, and magnesium stearate, which help in the tablet's stability, consistency, and ease of manufacturing. These excipients aid in the delivery of the active ingredient but do not contribute to the therapeutic effect. Always check the specific product label for precise ingredient details.
