Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. It's a decongestant medication when associated to pseudoephedrine. Diphenhydramine continues to be an anti histamine, but when combined to a decongestant, it is more effective to relief cold symptoms.

Can you take Mucinex D and Benadryl at the same time?

Technically, yes. There will be no interaction with the Flexeril, and Benadryl is an antihistamine (which blocks allergens), whereas Mucinex D is a mucus-alleviater with a decongestant added. It would be better to skip the Benadryl, however, because taking both together could drastically dry out your mucus- membranes.

Benedryl (diphenhydramine) is an ingredient of Tylenol PM so you should not combine the two.
