benadryl

Can someone please share with me, which benadryl is used for the riba rash/itch while on tx. In Denmark we have two kinds. The one taken 1 x per day and it has a 24 hr effect. And then there is the one taken several times a day, as it only last for 4 or 6 hrs (can't remember exactly)

Thank you,

Marcia

I've been fortunate in that with the Riba, I don't usually get the itch as long as I stay out of the sun!  I only had it with the VX-950.    When I do get an allergy flare-up I will take one of the regular 4-6 hr. Benedryl caplets and break it in 1/2.  The caplets will do this, but the capsules you aren't supposed to break.  So, there again, I'm just getting 1/2 a dose in.  Also, it makes me very sleepy so if I need to drive somewhere I can't take it.  So, I usually reserve that for when I know that I'm in for the rest of the day or evening.
