Dipansaluja - I note you are in the USA...
I would like to point out that the Benadryl sold in the USA
is a different drug to that sold under the Benadryl name in the UK.
Benadryl USA is
diphenhydramine which can cause sedation. In the UK, diphenhydramine is sold as a sleep-aid called Nytol.
Benadryl UK is
acrivastine, a non-sedating antihistamine.
Cetirizine is sold as Zirtek in the UK.
Piriton is a drug called chlorphenamine maleate.
