Benadryl Enema

Has aqnyone ever tried taking a benadryl enema for colds or allergies? Or maybe even using it to fall asleep fast?

I would address Benedryl very carefully. There are many medications that conflict with antihistamines. I take a couple of medications that prevent me from using anything with antihistamines in it. And since the medication would enter the blood stream quicker than taken orally, I would be very careful about how you regulate the dosage. It doesn't sound like something I woud want to try. Just my opinion.

Also contraindicated for folks with high blood pressure, kidney disease, etc. etc.

I will say from experience that benadryl taken rectally provides a burning sensation, not too bad, but sometimes it can be hard to want to keep it inside.

I don't have any experience with this, but sounds like a risky idea, be careful! Benadryl is psychoactive in larger doses, and one could only assume it would get absorbed at a greater rate in an enema.. like how alcohol works. Not sure if it works the same but that could be a scary time if it brings on unintended side effects

A typical dose of Benadryl is 25-75 mg.

Just how much Benadryl liquid do you plan on taking??

As a capsule, you will have to dissolve it first.

If you want it to work as intended, just swallow the damn stuff.

What would be the solution ratio??? Surely you don't mean filling your butt up with an entire bottle of Benadryl. Please elaborate.

I said what a typical dose is.

Read the bottle.

More good advice from you, Switchablesusie. Thanks for your input!
