Benadryl (diphenhydramine)

Never give a dog human medicines unless instructed to do so by a veterinarian. You will need to give the dog considerably less than the over the counter package indicates because of the fairly big size difference between a human and a small dog. In canines, Benadryl can be used to treat allergies, much like it is in humans, as well as anxiety.

No. Never give a dog human medicine unless a veterinarian tells you to. They can be fatal to dogs.

My dog has allergies, and although I do give him generic Benadryl, I would agree that it is necessary to consult your veterinarian first. Only he or she can confirm a diagnosis and tell you the correct amount. This is worth the cost of an office visit.

no

I have been for the past three or four night and i dont seem to have any trouble.

yes

1 mg per kilogram ( about 2 mg per pound).

If benadryl is ordered by a doctor, nurse, or other treating healthcare professional in prescription quantities, and if the other circumstances of the injury meet the OSHA definition, then the injury is OSHA recordable.

In the US, doses greater than 50 mg require a prescription.

Yes, there is no problem in taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) with Serc (betahistine). However, it might increase drowsiness.

One tsp equals 5ml liquid. This is similar for all liquids.

Yes you can take them together, however Beandyl {diphenhydramine hydrochloride} can and usually will potentiate the opiates. That is to say will make Vicodins effects more pronounced, but as a side benefit it will help relieve the itching that Vicodin and other opiates can cause.If you don't mind the sleepiness the Benadryl will most likely cause and are careful not to drive, fall down or otherwise harm yourself because you are more messed up than with the Vicodin alone you can take them both. Improved Answer Actually, antihistaminics don't make opiates more powerful... there is NO action on pain receptor. The only "additive" effect might be on the drowsiness caused by both drugs. If you have itching from Vicodin, you'll get more benefit by switching to another opiate. Benadryl will only relieve in part the itching, and causing more drowsiness.

combination killed my daughter

I have to do weekly breathalyzer test will Benadryl make me test positive

Benadryl contains the histamine-blocker diphenhydramine. It is primarily an allergy medicine that treats runny nose; sneezing; itchy, watery eyes; itchy throat. Taking Benadryl in treating anxiety attacks can be a beneficial treatment most of the time.It has a mild, sedative effect that can also help alleviate sleeping difficulties.

The dose of diphenhydramine goes by the dog's weight, not it's age. The standard dose is 1 mg per pound of weight, every 8 hours. For a 20 lb. dog, the doese is 20 mg of diphenhydramine.

If you think your dog is having an emergency, call your vet's office. Don't wait for help from any Internet helpline.

To draw up 75 mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine), first, ensure you have the correct concentration of the solution. If the liquid form is available in a vial, clean the stopper with an alcohol swab, then insert the 23G 1-inch needle into the vial. Pull back on the plunger to draw up the desired volume that corresponds to 75 mg, ensuring to remove any air bubbles before withdrawing the needle. Always follow proper safety protocols and check with a healthcare professional if you have any doubts.

Short term yes. Make sure your pet isn't ingesting the medicine you'll be fine.

There is not much of a difference between the two of these. They are diphenhydramine in different salt forms but will have the same effect. Diphenhydramine citrate will be slightly more readily absorbed in the body than HCl.

you can its just that it will have the side effect drowsyness.

In caring for an Alzheimer's sufferer, I found that diphenhydramine (Benadryl) significantly worsened symptoms for several days after her 2nd night of taking a 25mg dose. The issue was not daytime drowsiness, or loss of balance. It was a stepwise drop in cognitive ability, cooperativeness, and emotional stability. Antihistamines reduce one's response to pathogens. Perhaps the effect that diphenhydramine has on Alzheimer's patients points to a possible cause or mechanism for the disease. Any research to support this apparent link?

yes it is my cousin had a wreck and they perscribed him percocets and benadryl cuz he was allgeric to the codeine n percocets so yeah it is safe unless you take a bunch of each then yeah well call 91 yes it is my cousin had a wreck and they perscribed him percocets and benadryl cuz he was allgeric to the codeine n percocets so yeah it is safe unless you take a bunch of each then yeah well call 91

You can give 0.5-1mg of benadryl per pound

Yes. Benadryl can be drowsy, but they are okay together. Remember, these are usually given for 'cold symptoms' like cough and congestion. They do not cure the cold or make it go away any quicker.

It would be very unwise to recommend a dosage of anything to a person you don't know with a medical history you don't know. The best person to ask is your doctor.

To start off, the safe veterinarian approved dosage is 1mg per lb *every 8 hours*. So in this dog's case, 89mg is the recommended max. That being said, it is extremely difficult to give a lethal dose of benadryl. I'm assuming you gave the dog 4 25mg tablets, so more than likely all that will happen is an increased chance for side effects. You may just end up with an overly tired dog.
