Is It Safe To Take Benadryl And Acetaminophen Together?

I take Benadryl nightly so that I can sleep, I just recently took 125 mg of the medicine and then I started my period. I have horrible cramps, so I googled if I could take acetametaphine (major spelling error) and Benadryl together. They all said yes. So I did. If I took 125 mg of Benadryl and 1000 mg of acetametaphine, will i be ok?

Hello dear!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Regarding to your question I have to say that there are no interactions between this two drugs or major side effects that would harm your health. You can use them together, try first 500mg of acetaminophen and if you can't control your pain with that dosage then increase up to 1000mg. Another option would be ibuprofen 400 mg which is also very helpful with menstrual cramps and pains. Always take these drugs after meals and with plenty of water.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
I would appreciate a lot if you rate as helpful my answer and write a short review about your experience with me.
