Frequently asked questions
What is Benadryl?

The range includes capsules, once-a-day tablets, a children's syrup and a nasal spray. Always read the label and the patient information leaflet, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure which product suits you.
Does Benadryl make you drowsy?
Drowsiness can be a side effect of some antihistamines, and individual responses vary from person to person. Check the patient information leaflet for your specific Benadryl product, and if you do feel drowsy, do not drive or operate machinery. Your pharmacist can advise if you would like help choosing a product.
Can Benadryl help you sleep?
Benadryl allergy products are intended to relieve allergy symptoms, not to be used as a sleep aid. Do not take them to help you sleep unless a healthcare professional has specifically advised it. If you are having ongoing trouble sleeping, speak to your pharmacist or GP for appropriate advice.
Can dogs have Benadryl?
The Benadryl products we sell are intended for human use only. Never give a human medicine to a pet without professional guidance, as safe use and dosing differ for animals. Always speak to your vet before giving any medicine to your dog.
What Benadryl products are available for adults?
For adults the range includes Benadryl Allergy Relief Capsules (in 12 and 24 capsule packs), Benadryl Allergy One-A-Day Tablets and the Benadryl Allergy Natural Relief Spray. Each is designed to help relieve allergy symptoms in a different format. Follow the dose on the label and patient information leaflet, and ask your pharmacist if you would like help deciding.
What is the difference between Benadryl Allergy Relief Capsules and One-A-Day Tablets?
The capsules are typically taken when symptoms occur, while the One-A-Day Tablets are taken once daily to help manage symptoms through the day. Always read the label and follow the dose in the patient information leaflet for whichever product you choose. If you are unsure which is more suitable, speak to your pharmacist.
Is there a Benadryl product for children?
Yes, Benadryl Allergy Children's Syrup is available in 60ml and 120ml bottles for younger allergy sufferers. Give the dose according to the child's age as set out on the label and patient information leaflet, and do not exceed the stated dose. Keep out of the sight and reach of children, and speak to your pharmacist or GP if you have any concerns.
Which children's syrup size should I choose, 60ml or 120ml?
The 60ml and 120ml bottles contain the same syrup in different quantities, so the choice mainly comes down to how much you need. The larger 120ml bottle can be more convenient for regular or longer-term use. Always read the label and follow the dose for your child's age in the patient information leaflet.
What is the Benadryl Allergy Natural Relief Spray used for?
The Benadryl Allergy Natural Relief Spray is a 15ml nasal spray option intended to help with allergy symptoms affecting the nose. Follow the instructions provided with the spray for how and when to use it. If your symptoms do not improve, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
How much Benadryl should I take?
Always follow the dose on the label and in the patient information leaflet for your specific product, and do not exceed the stated dose. Different Benadryl products have different instructions, so check the pack each time and always read the label. If you are unsure, your pharmacist can help.
Can I take Benadryl if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant, check with a healthcare professional before taking any allergy medicine. Speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist, who can advise on what is suitable for you. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use.
When should I see a pharmacist or GP about my allergy symptoms?
Speak to your pharmacist or GP if your symptoms persist, keep coming back or do not improve with treatment. Seek urgent medical help if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, mouth or throat, or a widespread rash. When in doubt, your pharmacist is always happy to help.
