Can you take Zyrtec and Benadryl together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you do not want to take two antihistamines together. You should not need both of them. If Zyrtec is not working for you, it's probably time to see your doctor for a prescription antihistamine. Taking too much antihistamine can sedate you too much, and you might pass out or have trouble breathing.

Can you mix Valium and diphenhydramine?

Asked by Wiki User

You can take this cough syrup when you are taking a tranquilizer. Remember that promethazine also causes drowziness, though. Take extra care when sitting or standing. If you are over 60, watch out for falls.

How many days should your dog be on Benadryl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That should be up to your Veterinarian. Benadryl can be used at first as an emergency medication but then your pet should be taken to your Veterinarian to be checked out and treated from there. Do not self medicate your dog.

If your cat is sneezing and has watery eyes can you give him some benadryl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Never give a cat human medicine. Human medicine is much stronger than cat or dog medicine and you could easily overdose the cat. The sneezing and watery eyes could be a sign of Respiratory Infection (cat flu). Take it to a vet just in case.

What should you do when you feel homesick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, when I get homesick, one of the things I do is call my parents. If they don't pick up, then you should take some deep breaths and remind yourself you'll see your home and parents soon. Also you can think about some of the things that really make you smile.

Another thing that helps is taking benedryl a couple hours before bed. Benedryl is a medicine that makes you very tired and sleepy. Just try to keep your mind off the sad things, and on the happy! Trust me, I know how it feels to be homesick. Don't feel like you're the only one.

Can you give benadryl to your dog while using hydrocortisone cream?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have heard mixed things from vets about giving Benadryl to canines. From what I have been told, a lot of it has to do with the size of your dog. Their systems are totally different than ours, so dosing per weight would not be the same either. It really is best to go to the vet and find out what is causing the problem. They may even be able to hook you up with meds that will work better on your dogs symptoms than anything you may able to self medicate him/her with.

What is the proper dosage of benadryl for a 12 lb dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Never use human medicine on your pets - it could easily result in overdose. Speak to a vet if your dog needs treatment or medicine, so the can prescribe medicine that is safe for the dog.

Another Answer

I read on a veterinarian hospital web page that you were not supposed to give the liquid Benadryl to dogs due to the high alcohol content.

My dog got into nettles this weekend, and she weighs 15 pounds. The vet said to give her a 25 milligram tablet, and this can be repeated up to 3 times a day. HOWEVER, you should take your dog to the vet so they can give your dog the correct dosage. Every dog is different.

Another Answer

There is NO alcohol IN CHILDREN'S Liquid Benadryl - read the LABEL.

you're thinking of original NyQuil - which whino's used to buy to get drunk when they couldn't afford real alcohol - get your story straight BEFORE you post.

Another Answer

I think what the one poster was thinking was that the liquid Benadryl has sucrose (sugar) and sodium (salt) in it, which is not good for small dogs. That is why he or she was not suggesting the individual with the question use Children's liquid Benadryl for a 12 pound dog. It would be nice if the above poster would learn to be more patience with others.

Is Benadryl bad for the liver?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not been many studies on (recreational use of this drug).

You may have caused damage to your liver and or heart. but, if you have not touched this drug since, and it DOES NOT contain "acetaminophen" or something similar (NSAIDS) < example - You should be ok.

if you think you have a problem or seem to be abusing it you probably do. in that case you are lucky because you're dependence on this drug is mostly mentally addicting.

The worst withdrawal would be dizziness, headache, and feeling of "happiness" increased enjoyment of food, and finally you should feel normal again.

AFTER THAT YOU WILL PROBABLY WANT TO DO THE DRUG AGAIN. thats the mental "addiction" or whatever the eff you wanna call it.

Simply ignore this, and move on with your life. If you experience PAIN of the heart the next couple days, as long as its minor, ignore it. if it persists or GETS WORSE see a doc!.

as for your liver, if you damaged that you most likely won't notice this till much later in your life. Take care of it then.

As for now, Move on. DO NOT think of these problems and get this mental thing in your head that you caused "DAMAGE" to your body, that will make you paranoid.

Most all "Drugs" will have to be filterd out by your LIVER all drugs are Poison to your liver, and OD'ING on Diphenhydramine AKA Benadryl is ruff on your liver.

But my bet is your liver made it fine, it filterd that poison like a boss.

You only get one LIVER! treat it how you like, i'm not here to judge just help best i can.

Hope you choose to stay clean, or smoke some good ol pot! (on the weekends?) you will enjoy your life.

If this was a suicide attempt, then MOVE FORWARD, Don't dwell on it, Brush it off, and go enjoy your life.

LAST FACTS TO ME KNOWLEDGE.

IF YOU HAD NO "tolerance" to Benadryl / DIPH. then these are my guesses.

IF YOU HAD 100 - 300 MG of this drug - **you most likely had audio hallucinations minor visual hallucinations and minor to moderate paranoia**

IF YOU HAD 300 - 500 MG of this drug - **you most likely had strong audio hallucinations moderate visual hallucinations and to moderate paranoia**

IF YOU HAD 500 - 800 MG of this drug - **you had audio hallucinations strong visual (most likely - Rats, mice, squirrels, fading in and out of reality, CRAZY thoughts, if you kept fighting the sedation you would see people, talk to people (loved ones) that aren't there, then snap back and say oh s*t lol, and most likely see bugs on the walls ect. and to moderate paranoia to severe**

IF YOU HAD 800 - 1200 MG of this drug - **most likely have severe POUNDING HEART, loss of control, muscle moments lost, walking nearly imposable, you will see things, hear things, you wont have control, you will look LIKE YOUR GOING TO DIE do not let anyone see you, if you fall asleep you will wake up seeing things that you fear, again RATS, MICE, ANIMALS, SPIDERS, blah blah blah...

anymore then that.... and you probably won't ever be the same, or you will have some heart problems and again maybe liver problems later on 20, 30 years from now. THIS IS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE NO tolerance to the drug.

All in all, its a drug thats on the dark side, brings fears out, makes you feel sick / druk, dull, crappy,.

Infact, from my use, the best part is when it finally ends!

PEACE. Hope i helped=)

Does diphenhydramine show up for meth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it does not. Some of the cold medications containing ephedrine or pseudo-ephedrine may show up in some of the cheaper tests for meth-amphetamine because they are precursors to meth-amphetamine. However if the test is done in a lab meth would quickly be ruled out.

Can I give my dog diphenhydramine hcl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I've given my dog this medication. I believe that's the generic name for benadryl. I would use the children's version of benadryl and dose according to the animals weight. (I'm not a veterinarian and have no medical training so YMMV)

What would happen if you took 100 Benadryl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the tablets are 25mg or under, then yes that is a reasonable dose.

Will 7800 mg of diphenhydramine kill you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Theoretically it could, but you would have to take an EXTREMLEY large dose. The LD50 of diphenhydramine (the rate at which 50% of mice die when the medicine is ingested) is about 500mg, or about 20 pills per kilogram of body weight.

Can you give a cat Benadryl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it's a true URI, benadryl probably won't work anyway. Benadryl is an antihistamine and more helpful for allergies. You'll need antibiotics most likely, in which case you need a vet to prescribe. You can always look for an emergency vet clinic or just wait until your vet's office is open (assuming it's just after hours and they'll be open the next day). URI's can become serious and sometimes be a sign of something fatal(Felv, FIV, FIP), but it's not typically instantly fatal.
