Generic Benadryl(Generic name: Diphenhydramine)
Benadryl Drug Info
Benadryl Drug Uses: Benadryl is used for the relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of various allergic conditions such as seasonal allergic rhinitis. It is also used to treat patients with chronic urticaria. Although antihistamines are the preferred class of drugs in allergic rhinitis, they only reduce symptoms by 40-60%. Diphenhydramine also is used for allergic reactions involving the eyes (allergic conjunctivitis), to prevent or treat active motion sickness, and for mild cases of Parkinsonism, including drug-induced Parkinsonism. The last two uses (motion sickness and Parkinsonism) are based on the anticholinergic effects of diphenhydramine, and not its antihistamine effects. Diphenhydramine also is used as an aid for insomnia.
How to Use Benadryl: Benadryl has its maximal effect about one hour after it is taken. Its effects last for 4 to 6 hours. Therefore, it is often prescribed to be taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for relief of allergy-related symptoms. When used to combat insomnia, it is prescribed to be taken at bedtime. Patients over the age of 60 years are especially sensitive to the sedating and anticholinergic effects of diphenhydramine, and the dose should be reduced.
Benadryl Precautions: Benadryl has been used extensively in pregnant women; the incidence of fetal malformations is the same as that which would be expected in women who are not taking medications. Additionally, studies in animals suggest no important effects on the fetus. Diphenhydramine, therefore, can be used in pregnancy if the physician feels that it is needed. Benadryl is secreted in breast milk. Because of the risk of stimulation and seizures in infants -- especially newborns and prematures -- antihistamines should not be used by nursing mothers.
Benadryl Drug Interactions: Benadryl adds to (exaggerates) the sedating effects of alcohol and other drugs than can cause sedation such as the benzodiazepine class of anti-anxiety drugs (e.g., Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax), the narcotic class of pain medications and its derivatives (e.g., Percocet, Vicodin, Dilaudid, Codeine, Darvon), the tricyclic class of antidepressants (e.g., Elavil, Tofranil, Norpramin), and certain antihypertensive medications (e.g., Catapres, Inderal). Diphenhydramine can also intensify the drying effects of other medications with anticholinergic properties (e.g., Bentyl, Urecholine, Probanthine).
Benadryl Possible Side Effects: Benadryl can commonly cause sedation, tiredness, sleepiness, dizziness, disturbed coordination, drying and thickening of oral and other respiratory secretions, and stomach distress. Diphenhydramine may also cause low blood pressure, palpitations, increased heart rate, confusion, nervousness, irritability, blurred vision, double vision, tremor, loss or appetite, or nausea. Diphenhydramine should be used with caution (if at all) in persons with narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate gland), hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and asthma.
Benadryl Overdose: Seek emergency medical attention immediately if an overdose is suspected. Symptoms of Benadryl overdose include: fever, shaking, insomnia, hallucinations, and possibly seizures.
Benadryl Storage: Store Benadryl at room temperature away from moisture and sunlight. Avoid excessive heat. Avoid freezing. Keep out of the reach of children. Dispense of this medicine in a tight, light-resistant container. Do not store Benadryl in the bathroom.
Benadryl Missed Dose: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

Hey there!
I was very surprised with your smart support department stuff. They had really helped me as that was the first time I was shopping online Benadryl. As my husband says: "Business begins with employer's employees." You've got no problems with it.
Good luck!
I was becoming an old, grouchy bear. I hated the world and couldn't stand myself. I had terrible mood swings and depression. I had heard so much about Benadryl that I had to give it a try. I was afraid it would be too good to be true. Well, I just love it! It is such a wonderful product. The mood swings are gone!

Common Questions
What are the differences between Benadryl brand-name drugs and Benadryl generic drugs?
You probably know that pharmaceutical companies carry out extensive research and clinical testing to win approval from the Food and Drug Administration for new drugs. The new drug is then protected by patent for at least 10 years. Hence, a brand-name drug. When the patent expires another drug company can "copy the recipe" for the brand drug. This "copy" is called a generic drug. The FDA requires that generic Benadryl have the same active chemical composition, be dispensed in the same dosage form such as a tablet or capsule and be taken in the same dosage as the brand-name drug.
Q: Do you deliver Benadryl to P.O Boxes?
A: Our policy excludes the P.O Boxes as a possibility for a shipment.
Q: Do you ship internationally Benadryl?
A: For the present moment we only ship in U.S ( no to all International outside U.S )

Different definition / meanings for the word "Heartburn":
Characterized as a burning pain behind the breast-bone, heartburn is caused by acid reflux, the back-flow of stomach contents upward into the esophagus . . . Suffering an irritation of the upper part of the stomach (where it meets the esophagus) also known as “acid reflux” or “Esophagus burn” often as a result of eating too much or too fast.
Medical prescription
Both pharmacists and physicians are regulated professions in most jurisdictions. A prescription as a communications mechanism between them is also regulated and is a legal document.
Many brand name drugs have less expensive generic drug substitutes that are chemically equivalent. Prescriptions will also contain instructions on whether the prescriber will allow the pharmacist to substitute a generic version of the drug.
Some prescribers further inform the patient and pharmacist by providing the indicator for the medication; i.e. what is being treated. This assists the pharmacist in checking for errors as many common medications can be used for multiple medical conditions.
Definition for pharmacy technician:
In the United States, pharmacy technician is a job title to describe a person who works with a licensed pharmacist to provide medication and other health care products to patients. Technicians often do the routine tasks associated with preparing prescribed medication, and the manual labor component of getting drugs to where patients reside.
