Benadryl-D


Generic Name: Diphenhydramine/Pseudoephedrine Tablets (dye-fen-HYE-dra-meen/soo-doe-e-FED-rin)
Brand Name: Benadryl-D

Benadryl-D is used for:

Temporarily relieving symptoms of hay fever, allergies, or the common cold, including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose and throat, and itchy/watery eyes. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Benadryl-D is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure.
