Hi
Thanks for your query.

There is no documented interaction between Lantus Insulin and Diphenhydramine, hence they can be taken together.

Diphenhydramine can be used to treat allergy while taking Lantus solo Insulin.
Diphenhydramine is known to cause drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation and increase heart beats.

So, increased heart beat is an important side effect of Diphenhydramine.

Hope this answers your query.
