What is diphenhydramine hydrochloride 25mg?

What is diphenhydramine hydrochloride 25mg? Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, itching, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. Benadryl dose is also used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride for sleep can also be used to help you relax and fall asleep. Only use Benadryl in pregnancy when clearly needed.

Benadryl dose works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Its drying effects on such symptoms as watery eyes and runny nose are caused by blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine).

cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years. Therefore, do not use the Benadryl dose to treat cold symptoms in children younger than 6 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. Some products (such as long-acting tablets/capsules) are not recommended for use in children younger than 12 years. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details about using your product safely.

These products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold and may cause serious side effects. To decrease the risk for serious side effects of the benadryl dose, carefully follow all dosage directions. Do not use a benadryl dose to make a child sleepy. Do not give other cough-and-cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask the doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier or saline nose drops/spray).
