Benadryl And Clonidine

Updated

Can I give my 7yr old daughter Benadryl if she's taking Clonidine .01mg x3 a day? She's experiencing eye ting and significant sinus drainage. She in good spirits otherwise but can't stop itching her hers. Shes been on Clonidine for more than a year.

Hi Lara,

Sorry to hear about your daughter's allergies. I hope she's been able to find relief since the timing of your post.

According the University of Maryland Medical Center, there are no drug interactions between Benadryl and Clonidine. However, if in doubt, you can always contact the prescribing doctor just to be on the safe side.

First off I'm sorry to hear about your child's allergies.

I don't know why a person told you there is no drug interactions between benadryl and clonidine. They were sorely wrong and misinformed to tell you this.

There are interactions between the two. Both can lower your blood pressure and cause suppressed breathing. I know this from experience.

You may be able to mix the two but I would ask the primary care doctor first just incase. Just be very careful and I'd suggest starting with a low dose of benadryl and go from there.

I wish you the best.
