It is possible to overdose on Benadryl, like all drugs. Symptoms of an overdose depend heavily on the dose taken but include heart arrhythmias, seizures, pupil dilation, nausea/vomiting, respiratory failure, extreme lethargy, agitation, and more. The recommended adult dose of Benadryl is 25-50mg every four to six hours.
Yes, like any medication, you can overdose on Claritin (loratadine) if you take too much. However, Claritin has a very wide dosage range when it comes to toxicity/serious adverse effects and is, overall, a relatively safe medication. Accidentally taking too much (i.e. a tablet or two more than directed) should not cause significant side effects ...
All liquid formulations of ZzzQuil contain 25 mg of diphenhydramine per 15 ml (one tablespoon). Per the manufacturer, the recommended dose is 30 ml (two tablespoonfuls) at bedtime, which equates to 50 mg of diphenhydramine. When using diphenhydramine as a sleep aid, single doses should not exceed 50 mg per dose.
You can safely use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream and oral dosage forms of Benadryl (e.g. tablets, liquid, softgels) together. Topical Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not thought to be absorbed systemically in a significant amount. Various studies have shown the absorption of topical Benadryl is minimal and unlikely to produce any effects ...
Zyrtec is a second-generation antihistamine that is available over the counter (it was, at one time, prescription only). Other second-generation antihistamines include Claritin (loratadine) and Allegra (fexofenadine). For adults, the recommended dosage is 10mg (one Zyrtec tablet) every 24 hours. This is the FDA-approved maximum daily dose.
Excessive dosages or long-term dosing of Mucinex has been linked with nausea, diarrhea, headache, and kidney stones, but these appear to occur only rarely. There are very few published case reports documenting Mucinex overdoses being a contributing factor to serious side effects or death. Animal studies report an LD50 (lethal dose in 50% of a ...
Yes, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may be safely taken with Tylenol (acetaminophen) as there is no drug interaction between the two. In fact, these two drugs can often be found together in the same product. For one example, both of the active ingredients are in the product Tylenol PM, which is used to relieve pain while helping to fall asleep faster.
The maximum recommended daily dose for Allegra (fexofenadine) in adults is 180mg per day. Allegra is a very well-tolerated medicine, and accidentally taking one additional dose is unlikely to cause serious side effects. Studies show that doses of over 1,000mg per day of Allegra produced only mild side effects, such as sedation and dizziness.
Use of Benadryl and melatonin together on a regular basis is not recommended. In most cases, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and melatonin should not be taken together. There isn't necessarily a 'drug interaction' between them, but both can cause sedation, and using them together could have additive effects. These additive effects could potentially ...
Taking both is considered a therapy duplication. Combining NyQuil and Benadryl may increase the risk of side effects such as sedation, dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness. In most cases, only one or the other should be used. However, they are both short-acting, lasting 4 to 6 hours per dose, so both drugs could be used the same day.
