Rickiesmom Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Perhaps everyone knows this already, but just in case........................ I asked DH to stop at the drug store on the way home to pick up some Benedryl for my whippie Rickie. Knowing that increasingly every OTC med has variants, I asked him to get the original, most basic one. He called me - there were at least 3 variants, the most promising sounding one of which was Benedryl - Allergy. I asked him to take all 3 to the pharmacist to confirm, and I'm glad he did. Turns out the "Sinus and Headache" and whatever the third one was, contain Tylenol!!! Benedryl - Allergy contains an antihistamine (no Tylenol) and is the right one.

CaliforniaGreys Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Wayne stays on Benadryl all summer, it's the allergy med. Good info to know about the others.

juliemac Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 thank you for sharing! I'll have to take a closer look at what's in my cabinet (since I am on prescription meds for chronic allergy/sinus issues, the Benedryl is in the house only for the hounds or visitors).

Guest Energy11 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yes, just the Benedryl. There are sooo many OTC meds, that is CAN get confusing. I use generic Benedryl here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
