Question
Is there a contraindication for using MSO4 and Benadryl at the same time?
Thank you.
Hi there
If I assume that MSO4 is Morphine then it obviously has sedative properties as does Benadryl. There is no reason they can't be used together that I am aware of but you must be aware that they may make you drowsy.
Hope this helps

| Comment | There was recently a death where morphine was given, a suspected reaction was treated with Benedryl. Just wanted to know if the 2 could be contributing factors. Thanks. jf | ||
