Brief Answer:
Take under caution...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are no known interactions between benadryl and multaq. However benadryl contains antihistamines. Antihistamine agents can raise heart rate which might trigger arrhythmia. So unless and until I am very sure you indeed have allergic manifestation, I will refrain from using benadryl

Hope this helps.

Regards
