Is Tylenol Pm the same as Benadryl (they each contain Dipehnhydramine) do both h!


Question: They are not the same - tylenol is for aches and pains, and benadryl is an anti-histamine for allergies, insect bitses, etc.
Yes, both help sleep and both are safe if you follow the directions on the package and have no allergies to the ingredients.
My dad is a doctor (for what it's worth) and he takes two benadryl when he needs help sleeping. He prefers it to tylenol PM or other PM medications. I personally use benadryl if I need help falling asleep, and it works well for me.


Don't listen to the first person who responded to your question - neither are addicting or habit-forming. Consult your doctor and they will tell you the same. Regardless, always follow the directions on the package and don't exceed the required amount as it could be dangerous for other reasons.

Tylenol Pm contains Acetaminophen ( A pain killer ) in addition to diphenhydramine as against Benadryl contains only Diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine is anti allergy medicine and as a side effect does induce sleep. So in case of Tylenol Pm it would induce sleep and also take care of pain and fever. Both the medicines could be addicting in nature.
