Is It Safe To Take Tylenol With Benadryl?

I am wondering if it would be ok to take Tylenol/Codene with Benadryl. I m so sick and have been for a couple days, DR prescribed me Tylenol/Codene but also said I should take Benadryl. She never specified if I could take them both together. Let me know! Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Tylenol with Benadryl.

Yes, it is OK to take these two medications together.
You can also take these three medications together.

Codeine is an opioid used to treat dry cough.
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that reduces the symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Tylenolol (Acetaminophen) is used to relieve headache, body ache and fever.

But Benadryl is known to cause drowsiness and sleepiness so you must avoid driving.

Hope this answers your query.
