Does Intake Of Benedryl Help In Treating An Itchy Rash On Skin?
HELLO, MY QUESTION IS, IS IT SAFE TO TAKE BENEDRYL FOR RASH INCURRED BY ANTIBIOTIC? THE DOCTOR CHANGES ANTIBIOTIC FOR PNEUMONIA, FROM DIOX----, TO LEVOFLOSACIN 750MG, HOPING THE ALLERGIC REACTION WOULD SUBSIDE. HE SUGGESTED ZYRTEC FOR RASH, BUT IT HAS NOT HELPED. TEMPTED TO TAKE BENEDRYL, BUT DON T KNOW IF IT IS OK TO DO SO. THANK YOU. MARY

it can be used as anti-allergic. since antibiotic is changed you can wait and prefer taking tab levocetrizine and apply caladryl lotion.
