Is there any long lasting side effect from benadryl?
Patient: my husband and I take a Benadryl each night before going to bed. We both have some allergies but I seem to be able to sleep much better and it s the only med I take for allergies. my husband sometimes takes another allergy med in the morning - starts with a Z - can t remember the name of it. Are there long lasting side affects from this? or is it realtively safe to use it once before bedtime? thanks Doctor: Hello,It is my pleasure to answer your query,For any drug there will be a side effects.But advantage of the drug will be more when compared with the disadvantage.Similarly this drug too has some side effect on long term usage they may be Sedation, sleepiness, dizziness, disturbed coordination, Epigastric distress, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, thickening of bronchial secretions, tightness of chest and throat.These are some of the most common side effects with Benadryl.You can take this medicine on consultation with your treating doctor.Thank you.Hope you got the answer for your query.
