Is It Safe To Take HCG And Benadryl Together?

I had taken homepathy hcg and the first two times I lost a lot of weight. The third time I used it my lip became swollen and my throat. I stopped taking it. But I would really like to take hcg as I had such good results the first two times. I found some hcg at RIte aid that guarantees quality hcg. I had thought of taking benedryl along with it. Do you think this sounds safe ?.

Hi
Welcome to health care magic.
Having a drug reaction with lip swelling and throat choking indicates the presence of angioedema which is a life-threatening situation.
Whatever drug has caused this should be avoided for lifetime.
The reason being often the future allergies are rampant and don't give time for medical intervention to salvage the life of the patient.
So taking the same medicine again can be fatal. Keep in mind life is more important than any achievable targets.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
