Hello Doctor,
I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant and I took Robitussin DM a little while ago for my cough. Is it safe to take Benadryl now, or should I wait? I just want to make sure there’s no interaction or risk for my baby.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It is best to avoid taking Benadryl after Robitussin DM if possible. Both medications can cause drowsiness, and combining them may increase this effect. Additionally, while both are generally considered safe in pregnancy when used appropriately, it’s always best to consult your doctor before taking multiple medications together, especially during pregnancy. If you're experiencing severe symptoms, discuss alternative options with your healthcare provider.
Thanks
