Does Hydroxyzine Pamoate Interact With Diphenhydramine?
Question: Is it safe to take a Hydroxyzine Pamoate (25 MG) with the 2- 25MG Diphenhydramine I recently took?
Brief Answer:
THis is not advised!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this supposed food allergy. Unfortunately, these drugs are exactly the same and I will not advise that you take both. This is because they both cause sedation and can cause severe sedation when taken together. If the itches are too severe, I will rather recommend you use prednisone/bethamethasone which is a steroid and good in cases of body itches.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thanks for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
