Product overview

About Benadryl Allergy Relief

The fast one: Benadryl Allergy Relief capsules are acrivastine 8mg, an antihistamine that gets to work in 15 minutes on skin allergies and lasts eight hours — taken as needed, up to three times a day, rather than once every morning. For hay fever, dust and pet allergies and itchy skin reactions. The 12-capsule pack: up to four days of full dosing, or a season of occasional flare-ups. Ages 12 to 65.

Who the 12 pack suits

People whose allergies come and go — a hay-fever afternoon, a cat at a friend's house, an itchy reaction that needs stopping now. Twelve capsules taken as needed can last a whole summer of occasional use, and it's the size to try first.

How to take

Ages 12 to 65: one capsule when symptoms strike, repeated as needed with the stated gap, up to three capsules in 24 hours. Swallow with water. Non-drowsy for most, but a few people feel sleepy — see how it affects you before driving.

Good to know

Acrivastine leaves the body through the kidneys, so it's not for anyone with severe kidney impairment and isn't recommended over 65. Ask a pharmacist first if pregnant or breastfeeding. For all-day, every-day cover, a once-daily antihistamine such as cetirizine is the better routine.
