Oh the dreaded itch that comes with wounds! You can remedy this by buying standard Benadryl tablets (you want the pink ones!) and crushing them up into a fine powder. Take the powder and add a minute amount of water (one teaspoon of powder to 1/4 teaspoon water). It should form a pink watery paste or be completely liquid (either or depending on how much water you added). Take a cotton ball and dip it in the benadryl and rub it on the area that itches.

Within 5-10 minutes the itching will be gone. Because you've absorbed such a small amount of Diphenhydramine, you should not get tired.

Benadryl (Diphenhydramine HCl) is metabolized in the liver, although it is distributed throughout the body (including the central nervous system) and a small amount of it passes unmetabolized in the urine.

how to break down 25mg pills diphenhydramine hcl so that i can shoot them up

Yes.

not unless directed otherwise by a pediatrician

yes

Talk to the vet about that but they do have calming drops you can put in their water and calming treats that are supposed to help.

You would probably get an overdose of antihistamine, would not recommend it.

Benadryl and Aerius are both antihistamines. Therefore, they should not be taken together as there is a risk of overdosing. Also, as antihistamines can make one feel drowsy, this side effect will be multiplied, putting the user in danger.

yes

What sleep aid is safe to take while pregnant??

Yes. You can take them at the same time. They are both antihistamines, but Allegra is a long-acting antihistamine and Benadryl is a short-acting antihistamine. Fexofenadine is Allegra. I have been given both at the same time to treat a severe sinus infection. You may get very drowsy or run down. But you will be ok. Because of this, it is recommended that Allegra be taken in the morning on a regular schedule and Benadryl be taken at night when needed to help with sleep issues due to allergies.

Actually it is safe in the right doses...Dogs and cats can be given 1-2 mg/lb every eight hours. This can be used to treat allergic reactions, and it also has some anti-anxiety and anti-vertigo effects. As a general rule, it is pretty safe stuff. The primary side effect is drowsiness.. Always check with your Vet.. I got this info off of a Vet site.

Benadryl and amitriptyline in combination are capable of blocking acetylcholine receptor activity. Possible side effects may include, but are not limited to, dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred vision, urinary retention, and constipation. Caution is warranted.

Also both these drugs are central nervous system depressants and the use of these two drugs together should be monitored. Some side effects may include, but are not limited to, ataxia, confusion, drowsiness, respiratory depression, and weakness. Since both medications have the potential to depress CNS function it is important to recognize that the risk of unwanted effects may increase with such use.

Amitriptyline may decrease the metabolism of Benadryl. This can alter Benadryls intended use. The benefits of combined use of these two medications usually outweigh the risks. Timing and dosage play a factor in the interaction of the two. You should talk to your doctor if you have any concerns of the above interactions.

Benadryl tablets usually contain 25mg of Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, though the dosage should be on the back of the bottle.

no

I wouldn't advise using benadryl for sleeping problems. There are many things that can cause sleep issues but I would go see a doctor and maybe even get a second opinion. Good luck and hope you sleep better!

No, it is not safe to take a prescription antihistamine plus an over the counter antihistamine. You do not need two antihistamines. Overdosing on antihistamines causes extreme sedation, and you might pass out. You might even have trouble breathing. An overdose of antihistamines also dries you out and gives you a severe sinus headache.

You shouldn't give an animal liquid benadryl. The liquid formula has too much alcohol in it and could cause alcohol poisoning.

The dose for benadryl tablets is 1 mg per pound three times a day. Generally benadryl comes in 25 mg tablets , so you can cut one in half for your dog. It generally does only a fair job for itching in dogs. If the problem persists make and appointment with your vet.

cc's and mg's are the same thing. I think the medical society as a whole is going to be getting rid of cubic centimeters altogether to avoid confusion like this.

That depends on how many milligrams of diphenhydramine are in each teaspoonful of the liquid, why you're giving the Benadryl, and whether or not your dog is receiving any other medications. Contact your Vet. He/she will know the correct dose for your pet.

You can take 25 to 50 mg. Kids dose is usally 12.5 to 25 mg.
