Presenting Major Diphenhydramine HCl 12.5mg/5 mL Oral Solution in a 16-ounce Cherry Flavor bottle. This antihistamine injection addresses severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) when used in conjunction with epinephrine and other treatments. Additionally, it alleviates symptoms of household allergies, hay fever, and the common cold when oral administration is not feasible. Common allergy manifestations, including rash, itching, watery eyes, and sneezing, find relief through antihistamine action. The formulation is also effective against nausea, vomiting, and dizziness related to motion sickness when oral medication is impractical.
Diphenhydramine operates by inhibiting histamine, a natural substance produced during allergic reactions. Its drying effects on symptoms like watery eyes result from blocking acetylcholine, another natural substance in the body. Caution is advised against using Diphenhydramine in newborns or premature infants due to an elevated risk of side effects. It is contraindicated for common cold symptoms in children under 6 years, given the potential for serious side effects such as slowed breathing. Cough-and-cold products are not proven to be safe or effective in children under 6.
