Question: Can I take benadryl with pain medication!? !?
Answers:
Benadryl is an antihistamine!. It is one of the oldest on the market, but also has the unfortunate side reaction of causing drowsiness; probably moreso than any other!. In fact, the drug in its generic form (diphenhydramine HCL) is often used in over-the-counter sleep medications (Sominex, etc!.)!. But it is best used for countering systemic allergic reactions!.

HOWEVER, IT IS A POTENTIATOR when taken with pain relieving drugs (makes the effect of that drug stronger than it otherwise would be)!. Therefore I stronly advise you NOT to take Benadryl with pain medications!. See your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As an anti-histamine w/ sedative effects, benadryl may enhance the drowsiness effect of some pain meds, including narcotics - don't drive !Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, ask the doc, or call your pharmacist at least!.!.!. I know benadryl causes drowsiness, and so does pain medicine usually, so it may be too much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Read the leaflet that came with the medication, or at least consult a pharmacist or doctor if the information you require is not there!.
