Zantac and benadryl together

Common Questions and Answers about Zantac and benadryl together

zantac

) being release by the body, as I'm sure you know. He put me on Zyrtec and Zantac. Zantac is the only histamine 2 blocker on the market that he knows about, and Zyrtec is a H1 blocker. Taken together they did cure my hives...but when I tried to go off of them, my body went into shock and so much histamine was released that I was a swollen walking hive from head to toe. ouch. but I refused to drug myself that much each day (and it cost $100 a month for me to afford the meds...so, I had to stop).

So I went back in and they gave me an IV of benadryl, zantac, and steroids. The swelling went down and I went home. This morning (Saturday) I woke up with both eyes really itchy. I have continued the zantac, benadryl and steroids along with my usual zyrtec and now it is Saturday evening and my eyes are even worse - really welted and pink and yellow underneath and my eyelids are also itchy.

I can't live the way I am, continual breakout and other symptoms and too much Benadryl (most days 200-350mg per day). This level of bad hives+symptoms and heavy Benadryl has been going on since mid November 2007. It has gone on so long due to waiting to hear from health insurer if I'm insured (took weeks to get back to me; I'm not insured) and due to weather (storms). My locale is Southern California, mountainous area at 4500 feet.

), and Benadryl for hives - but you can't give both together - so if she gets the Benadryl at night, we do the Zyrtec the next day. Lots of creams, lotions, and skin maintenance stuff, too - but her allergies are the #1 trigger (sweating is #2!). good luck - I will try to remember to re-post and let you know how allergy shots pan out.

Cannot plan anything because I don't know if I'll be in bed most of the day crying or if I can get up and move like a normal person. I cannot convince my doctor to try to put me on Zantac which I took years ago without problem. Been taking various PPIs every day since 10/17/2008. Fom 9/8/2008 through 10/10/08, was taking only 20 mg of Aciphex but was taking so many other medications since doctor diagnosed IBS that I couldn't tell which one was causing the problem.

Today, It got really bad where I got a large lump/mass on my thighs and really itchy neck and scalp. I took 3 benadryls to control it. Good thing since last week I have already made a doctors appoitment for tomorrow. So what I am reading from the posting, it looks like I'm in for a cocktail of medications for months. I am not allergic to eggs. But I am allergic to chicken meat. But my reaction has never been hives but nausea & severe fatigue when I eat chicken meat.

I had them about 7 years ago, they lasted about a year. I'm taking Zyrtec (once a day), Zantac (2 / day), Doxepin (150 mg @ bedtime), and Benadryl as needed. I had been on prednisone on and off since July but my doctor has taken me off of it (for obvious reasons). Unfortunately nothing I've taken other than prednisone has worked. My hives are particularly associated with pressure (underwear) - Since September i have worn a tank top under my clothes due to hives associated with wearing a bra.

Mine took a long time because I had two drugs plus all the stuff they drip in first (Benadryl, Decadron, Zofran, Zantac) and they go quite slow the first time. There was no pain or burning--just couldn't bend my arm. I am now down to four hours, but that is because I have a reaction to the taxol if it is not given at half speed at first.

Since the heart issues started, I have quit taking all drugs for the most part. Every once in a while I will take 1 claritin and 1 zantac together but only if I am having a bad hive breakout. Usually once every few weeks if that.

Since I am also taking a hypertension and cholesterol meds, My GP thought that perhaps I am allergic to the meds. He prescribed 10 mgLoratidine and 150 mg Zantac to be taken together at night to manage the itch. I had some relief for about a month and now the combination pills are no longer working.

We took him to ER and the doc said it's a reaction to the medication (duh). So he said to stop the Amoxicillin and give him Benadryl as needed if he seems uncomfortable. Our son did not have any respiratory symptoms, just this crazy rash all over his body! My question is, how long does this rash usually last? And will it go away faster if I give him Benadryl. It doesn't seem to bother him at all, so I don't want to drug him if I don't have to.

hi just started on this site ive been suffering from idopathic andioedema same as you also urticara which is the rash when i get an attack i mostly get the swelling and rash together, whatever you do dont use any madication with asprin or ibuofen this makes it worse the doctors ive seen so far dont seem to know much about these reactions or what caused them to start ive just had to beg the clinic at the hospittal to give me a blood test just because i wanted to rule out some illnesses like c1 de

The only thing I can take is zyrtec and benadryl which don't offer much relief. I am only 5 weeks and I am miserable and on the verge of losing my mind. The chances of me having hives for the remainder of my pregnancy is high. I try my very best to deal with the discomfort by using gentle soaps, taking cool baths with oatmeal, and using a lot of hydrocortisone creams. Good luck! Always remember that there is someone else out there going through it too. You're not the only one!

It was severe for about 3 days. I took Benadryl at night and they went away for about 2 weeks straight while taking the benadryl. Then approx 3 weeks ago I awoke with them on my arms and legs (not as bad as before) went to the dr. and was sent to the allergist and they all think it was detergent since it started while I was folding clothes, so I rewashed everything in my house. Now I wake up every day with hives, usually only a few and they go away after a few hours.

I have seen a Dermatologist who says I need to accept the fact that I will not know what is causing the hives and to treat the hives (allegra and zantac) I have seen the Allergist who wants to check for an autoimmune disease which I don't understand because Hashimotos is an autoimmune disease or problem I thought. My thyroid doctor says there is no link between the thyroid and the hives and has taken a leave of abscence from his practice.

Currently Xyzal and Zantac combined at off label dosing is working pretty well, some wheels every day, but manageable. I guess my family and I just really had our hopes up that there would be a tangible cause and a resolution treatment. From reading some of the other blogs, it seems I may have to expect maintenance at best?? Is this right? I may need to be on these meds indefinitely?

These are the big ones that don't itch as much as they hurt. I have taken Benadryl and Prilosec which is a histamine 2 antagonist. I have 10 mg Prednisone tabs with me but the directions are to take 40 mg for angioedema and gradually decrease dosage. I know that if I take this dosage I will be up all night but am really uncertain about how much I should take. Using Aveeno to sooth the welts with minimal effect. I empathize with anyone going through this experience.

I have had hives for almost three years now. Every antihistimine and stomach pill (that has a histimine blocker) has been tried. The only relief I have gotten was when I went on Cyclosporine for six moths. This is an antirejection drug. I do not want to stay on this, but have been off of it for five months now, and hives are starting to return. Sometimes they are red splotches on my skin, other times they are thick welts, both itch unreal. My eyes, lips and feet swell also.

yes foos effects them terrrible for me if im hungry if I eat to much no sugar too much sugar pooping straining I know gross but we are all in this together I like it like this not so scary anymore ...

Now my Dr is taking me off the HCTZ and putting me on prescription strength Zantac. I have acid reflux and the Zantac also acts as an antihistamine, so I'm willing to try anything at this point. He said I should know in about 2 days - long enough to get the HCTZ out of system and to get the Zantac working. I'll let you know what happens.

Some days are good - she'll bark, eat something out of the 10,000 things I try to fix for her. Today, we lie in bed together; no interest in eating so far this morning. I'm fortunate to be able to devote 24/7 to her [my husband wants it that way]. We have 3 other dogs and my children are grown and on their own. These are my anxiety issues: 1. I can't eat [she can't - I feel guilty] and live for my next xanax. I've lost nearly 10 lbs in the last 3 weeks. 2.

I feel like my body's thermostat is broken and I'm constantly overheating. I've been taking Claritin and Benadryl but that doesn't seem to help at all. My doctor also gave me a prescription medicine called Atarax, which only makes me drowsy and doesn't help the itchy feeling. Any suggestions? Btw, I've taken blood tests to see if there is anything wrong but everything came out fine.

We are weaning him off prednisone and added Zantac which our doc says is a histamine blocker that blocks what Atarax doesnt. We just started so we have not noticed a benefit yet with it. We are waiting to get appt with LA specialist. I also just started him on BIAMONTE's eczmea program. Dr. B is a naturpath who specializes in candida and eczema.

I got a shot of benadryl and went to the doctor. He said I was allergic and hypersensitive to cold. My mother did not believe him since she did not see much of the rash, she made me sit outside that night and sure enough, I broke out. After that summer it never happened again but now I'm 17 and for the the past 2 years I have been having sudden numbing and white hands everytime I'm a little cold. I'm also in Color Guard so spinning ice cold metal poles when it's freezing out didn't help.

I have recently worked my way up to children's ibuprofen and that seems to help, but I took a zantac the other day and had the same awful reaction of sweating, seriously low blood pressure, vomitting and then went into chills. It's so scary. I had a little bit of anesthesia for an endoscopy and the nurse said I was the first person in 30 years to throw up like I did.

We're all in this together. I liked the suggestion of sharing our symptoms so we can discover what's causing this. Here are my symptoms: Muffler/exhaust fume smells. Started Aug 2011 (3 mos after surgery on my caratid artery). It lasts all day long. My tongue and even the roof of my mouth burns sometimes. My nose is cold as if I'm out in a winter storm even though I'm sitting in a hot room w/o AC. I have dry heaves that make my chest ache, but no nausea. No sore throat.

I still have it in November even after all kinds of benadryl ointment, heat rash meds, powders, you name it. It will almost go away after a few days of not wearing a bra (fortunately I work from home!) but when I go out to town and I come back home that evening, it is worse again. I haven't EVER had anything like this before. Now I am wondering if it IS the new bras. Has anyone else had this reaction to other brands????
