Why Should Diphenhydramine And Benadryl Gel Not Be Used Together?
Hi! For a mild reaction to a bee sting on my neck, I took a 25mg. tablets of Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) And at the same time putting on a topical Benadryl gel of 2% Diphenhydramine HCI. Both the oral tablet and gel warning labels say not to use one with the other. Why not?
