Diphenhydramine/Pseudoephedrine Liquid


Pronunciation: DYE-fen-HYE-dra-meen/SOO-doe-e-FED-rin
Generic Name: Diphenhydramine/Pseudoephedrine
Brand Name: Examples include Benadryl Allergy and Sinus Liquid and Children's Benadryl-D Allergy and Sinus


Diphenhydramine/Pseudoephedrine Liquid is used for:

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, pressure, runny nose, and sneezing due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Diphenhydramine/Pseudoephedrine Liquid is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant works by promoting sinus and nasal drainage, which relieves congestion and pressure.
