Description

Most antihistamine drugs have a narrow action and inhibit only allergic and inflammatory processes. Benadryl has a broad pharmacological action and is able to arrest more symptoms of the allergic process.

 

What is Benadryl?

Benadryl is an antihistamine drug of the first generation which contains an active ingredient diphenhydramine. The drug provides antihistamine, anti-allergic, cholinolytic, antiemetic, sedative action.

 

The mechanism of the action of Benadryl consists in blocking the histamine receptors, so that the allergy symptoms are arrested. It reduces or prevents spasms of the smooth muscle caused by histamine, lowers edema of the tissues, itching, and hyperemia. The oral use of Benadryl can cause a light local anesthesia, a temporal feeling of numbness of the mucous membranes of the mouth.

 

A drawback of Benadryl is a short-period of action, so that the pills should be used several times per day. The therapeutic effect is developed within 30 minutes and the maximal action occurs in an hour after the use of the single dose.
