I don't use it for dust/pollen allergies, I use it for food allergies. When I'm about to eat something I know I'm allergic to, I'll pop a pill right before I eat it. It's a staple of my culture's diet, and even though I'm highly allergic, I'm not highly sensitive. It takes a lot of food + exercise for me to get hives and breathing problems, but if I have it and don't exercise, then all I get is a bit of itching in my throat and my skin/head.
We try to keep it down to once a week. We COULD avoid it, but I really, really like the food we make.
Thunder Splat - take it every 6 hours thats how long my doctor had me use it
ReplyDeleteSarah - You can take it daily with no issue.
ReplyDeleteMary Kontrarry - As long as you're not taking more than the package says you can take in one day, no worries.
ReplyDeleteA - Benadryl is a pretty safe drug, but just be aware that longterm use can cause side effects. Low blood pressure, an abnormal heartbeat, and mental changes (e.g. anxiety, insomnia, restlessness) are most often reported with longterm use. I don't think this will be a problem if you're only taking the drug once per week, but try to keep it down to once per week to avoid any possibility of developing side effects.
