BUT-- and here's where I don the scolding mom hat for a moment, okay, so bear with me-- if you're thinking of this as an add-on therapeutic agent for an acute allergic reaction in-progress-- DON'T.

If benadryl isn't enough, that's a sign that there's more going on than you CAN see. That's dangerous to try to treat with antihistamines alone. Take a look at this, if you've not seen it before:

It's a plain language description of a variety of presentations of allergic reactions-- just know that anything systemic is potentially dangerous, and a lot of stuff is pretty subtle/hidden until it is VERY severe. If you wait too long, epinephrine isn't very effective.

There.

I'm sure that you know that. But I have to say it anyway because it's who I am. Mom worries. smile
