Which would help because...? Acrivastine doesn't really have any sedative effect at all. And taking three at once is quite an overdose.
- exelius 9y agoBenadryl in the US is diphenhydramine, which definitely does have drowsiness as a side effect. It's also pretty hard to OD on.
- mnw21cam 9y agoYou mean it's Nytol then.
- freeone3000 9y agoIf the box says Benadryl, is it still Nytol?
- sp332 9y ago"Benadryl is a brand name for a number of different antihistamine medications used to treat allergies. In the United States and Canada, it is the first-generation antihistamine diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine can also cause sleepiness." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benadryl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benadryl
- flachsechs 9y ago> Acrivastine doesn't really have any sedative effect at all no, but benadryl does. which is exactly what the op said, and op doesn't live in your country. in fact, most people don't live in your country.
- quuquuquu 9y agoI knew I should have specified diphenhydramine! It could have averted this precise discussion. But then I was worried that nobody would recognize its chemical name.
