Benadryl (diphenhydramine)

These three medications should NOT be mixed what so ever. These three medications are both CNS depressants and can can death if mixed together.

Benadryl is incompatible with Haldol, do not mix.

Compatibility is unknown between Benadryl and Ativan, do not mix.

Ativan is compatible with Haldol, ok to mix.

To prepare and serve a B52=Haldol and Ativan in one syringe, Benadryl in another.

If Benadryl is being given to a dog to calm it I have asked my Veterinarian the same question. He told me give the dog 1 wait 30 minutes, give another, wait 30 minutes. Keep going like this till you have the desired effect, a dog will settle down or even go to sleep before yo can over dose them. To be sure, consult a professional before you blame me for any advice I was given and have tried. : )

There are no known drug interactions between antihistamines and the birth control pill
There are no known drug interactions between antihistamines and birth control or morning after pills.

Although no harmful interactions with Loratidine/Claritin have been reported, there is a theoretical possibility of an interaction with the following drugs: Antibiotics such as erythromycin

Cimetidine (Tagamet)

Ketoconazole (Nizoral)

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding :The effects of Claritin during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Claritin appears in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. If Claritin is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding until your treatment with Claritin is finished.

Yes, but you need to make sure you are giving the right dose. Liquid Benadryl has a concentration listed on the bottle in the form ### mg/ml. From this, your veterinarian can help you figure out how much to give your dog.

A dog should NEVER be given a human prescription medicine unless advised by a vet.

Add-on: The answerer is correct but yes, you can give your dog Prozac, it isn't dangerous but you MUST be under guidance of a professional vet to get the correct dosage and ensure that your dog is not allergic to any ingredients in the medication.

If you have a question about giving your horse medicine, ask your vet. If he says to give Benadryl, then he should tell you how much. The amount of medicine to give depends on the breed and size of the horse.

Put it into his food and he will eat it along with the food.

Or open his mouth and put the tablet to the back of his throat. He will gag a little, but take your hand out and stroke his throat gently until he swallows. My dogs will eat around a pill, but I have no trouble giving them medication this way.

Yes, Suboxone and Benadryl can be taken together since there is no adverse interaction between the two drugs. Quite often antihistamines like Benadryl are taken with opiates (Suboxone contains an opiate and an opiate antagonist) to slightly heighten the effect of the opiate, but antihistamines don't dangerously heighten the effect, if they even heighten it at all. This can be verified on Medscape by using that website's drug interaction checker. I entered Suboxone and Benedryl and no interactions were found.

whydoes the dogs breath smell like poop

you cannot mix diphenhydramine or acetaminophen with topiramate or topamax. I am unclear why, just that my doctor told me not to do so.

No, you do not take two antihistamines at the same time. You may choose either benadryl OR Claritin, but not both. Overdosing on antihistamines causes severe sedative effects which might make you become confused or pass out. You might have trouble breathing. You will get twice the drying out effects, and will almost certainly get a splitting sinus headache or nosebleed.

Yes, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and nortriptyline can generally be taken together, but caution is advised. Both medications have sedative effects, which may lead to increased drowsiness or other side effects. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before combining these medications to ensure safety and proper dosage. Always follow your doctor's recommendations when taking multiple medications.

Combining benadryl with excedrin under the recommended dose is not in and of itself harmful. Exceeding the recommended dose can be harmful and produce increased side effects. Always check with your Dr. before using more than the recommended dose.

Dogs can be given one milligram for every pound of weight, of regular strength Benadryl every 8-12 hours. For a 30 pound dog, you can try one 25mg tablet twice a day, to see if the slightly lower dose controls your dog's symptoms. You could also use Children's liquid regular strength Benadryl. Notice I say "children's", regular liquid Benadryl! Regualr liquid Benadry has too high an alcohol content to be safely used for animals.

it lowers the Seizure threshold! Consult a Doctor!

I was taking Prednisone for a sinus infection (3 a day for two days then 2 for 2 days then one pill a day) and I take benadryl regularly for my allergies. I asked my doctor and he told me it would be fine to take Benadryl as well as prednisone.

Benadryl is usually used to control itching, particularly from allergic reactions. However, in very rare instances a person can be allergic to Benadryl itself. In that case it might cause itchiness.

There is no important interaction between those 2 drugs. If you don't have any contraindication to take benadryl or ibuprofen, there is no problem.

You can give your dog antihistamines for certain conditions and the vet can tell you the correct dosage. Common side effects of antihistamines can include no appetite, constipation, hyperactivity, and sedation. Each dog may react differently.

People do it all the time when they take Tylenol PM. The PM part that helps people sleep is the benedryl or aka diphenhydramine hydrochloride 25mg / tablet. So I take two Tylenol and two benedryl to get the same effect as a Tylenol PM and don't have to pay a ridiculous amount for the relief.

I am a registered Vet assistant, and have been working at a vet clinic for some time. WE give liquid and pill form benadryl quite often to dogs. The rule of thumb is 1mg per pound. For example: a 25lb dog can take 25mg of benadryl.

I read on a veterinarian hospital page that you were NOT supposed to give the liquid form of benadryl to dogs.

Yes. I take Paxil and I needed to take some Alergy relief stuff. I didnt have any weird reactions or anything. I didnt take it together, I took the Alergy stuff then waited 30 minutes then took my daily dose of Paxil 20mg. 2x daily

Yes - in fact the dose size for a dog is up to 2mg/kg (0.9mg/lb) - so for a 75lb dog you are talking approximately 65mg. Yes dogs tolerate a higher dose better than a human does (or they use it less efficiently).

As always, check with a vet.
