Avatar n tn How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
666921 tn?1254990618 I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it
Avatar f tn That's something you should ask your prescribing physician. Syndol isn't a medication used in the US. I had to search for a while just to find out what was in it. From what I can tell it's simply Tylenol, Caffeine, Codeine and a sedating antihistamine similar to Benadryl. Just by looking at the profile, I'm assuming it's prescribed for tension headaches? If you're trying to conceive, you may want to just try not using it for a while.
Avatar f tn The reason Tylenol PM helps you sleep at night is due to the Diphenhydramine which is a sedating antihistamine that is used in many OTC night time formulations. Diphenhydramine can cause side effects such as excessive daytime sedation, dry mouth, and urinary retention and thus its use long term as a sleep aid may not be preferred, but it is not addictive.
Avatar f tn not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
Avatar m tn In USA there is a pain reliever called percogesic that contains acetaminophen and an antihistamine called phenyltololamine that is quite effective for pain relief.Fight this battle with the vitamins and amino acids and nutrients listed on the health pages.Nyquil without the decongestant helps sleep for the first few days and you should be well on your way.
Avatar n tn I get the same thing when I stop taking my Afrin. It's not 'addiction' in the classic sense of the word... it's more like your body has become "med dependent". If you're not getting high from the stuff, then I'd say that's what you've got going on. My stuffy-head and flu'like symptoms is my body telling me "Take some more Afrin!", but if I tough it out, it passes within 12 hours and I can be Afrin-free shortly thereafter.
Avatar n tn What kind were you taking?
Avatar f tn In the grand scheme of things, there's a lot worse you could have taken. A little background...Tylenol PM contains two ingredients...Acetaminophen and Diphenhydramine HCl. Diphenhydramine HCl is better known as Benadryl. It's an antihistamine that produces some sedation like effects. Now, when I went through rehab, we couldn't go near any "mind altering" substances, including Benadryl. Will you get addicted to it? Probably not.
612551 tn?1450022175 I had prior to the vet visit above been given Wilson one half Benedryl 25 mg Antihistamine morning and evening, in the hope it would clear up the paw problem. A couple weeks of this did not produce any improvement. I then checked and saw recommendations to use 1 - 2 mg per pound. As Wilson is j20+ pounds my does level was low. I have decided to continue giving him Benadryl but now one 25 mg capsule morning and night. Hope it keeps his paws and general itch problems under control.
Avatar f tn Here's one for the books. My daughter has had a allergic reaction to an oral antihistamine she took for what appeared to be hives just below the right side of her derriere. This little bout of hives were taking their time going away and so she thought by taking the antihistamine it would help the process.
Avatar f tn Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!
Avatar n tn Doxylamine succinate Officially, this ingredient is on the label as an antihistamine. But it is equally useful as a sleep aid, providing a nice, convenient one-two... Zzzz.
Avatar f tn Tylenol has two active ingredients, acetaminaphen and pseudoaphedrine, along with an antihistamine. The acetaminaphen is not addictive, and pseudoephedrine by itself is not considered addictive either- and antihistimines are not physically addictive, contrary to what some allergy sufferers may believe. Ambien, on the other hand, definitely poses a risk for addiction.

1160764 tn?1267113859 Hi, I'm new here and have not taken any lortab since Friday night. I went to my doctor yesterday, and he basically told me that I have to sweat it out. I am 30 years old and have 3 children. I want to get through this for them as much as myself, but I am wondering when it will start to get better. I am laid up on the couch all day until I get the kids from school, then it takes all I have to get enough energy to cook supper and help with homework.
Avatar n tn Veramystâ„¢ (fluticasone furoate) is a nasal inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and, strictly speaking, not an antihistamine. As an anti-inflammatory medicine, however, has the potential to reduce histamine mediated inflammation, in a non-specific fashion. That it is not an antihistamine is evident by the very many studies of combination therapy, the combination of fluticasone with an histamine 2 (H2) blocker non-sedating antihistamine.
Avatar n tn The cheapest and most effective thing would be to give the cat away, but that is hard to do. I would recommend Zyrtec as a antihistamine (allergy stop tablet), sinus rinse bottler (available in pharmacies). The allergen is actually in the cat's body fluids (saliva and urine). Each animal has a slightly different protein in their fluids which is why some people develop an immunity to their own. Using a clumping litter and cleaning it daily might help some.
Avatar n tn with percocets before, my husband has recently confided in me that he has a pill addiction, we are trying to find the best way to get him help, however we have no insurance and he is currently the only working parent, anyway, i found a bottle that had a percocet and a generic claritin, i didn't know if this was something to be even more specifically worried about than the percocet addiction, he snorts the pain pills, i don't know if he is taking the claritins at all, or how he is taking

Avatar f tn So like ireallyneedhelp76, I've battled insomnia, I do mange to get a few hours here and there. Last night my RLS was INTENSE. Tonight I was cleaning out my med bag to ensure no more norco was lurking in there. I recall purging all the Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, Clonadine, Valium, and oxycontin last time I went ct. To my delight, I found that I clung on to one bottle of hydroxyxine. I immediately thought "score", I'm sleeping tonight.
Avatar f tn Do not mix antihistamines though such as an oral antihistamine and spray. Ocean Spray does not have an antihistamine and will simply dry you out and is safe to use with an antihistamine.
