What can be replaced

Analogues of Diphenhydramine in ampoules are Tavegil, Suprastin, Chloropyramine. The cost of Tavegil in ampoules is about 200 rubles. Suprastin in the form of injections costs about 150 rubles. And Chloropyramine costs about 130 rubles. Their active ingredients are different, but the effects of these drugs are the same.

If a sane person does not independently replace a drug that is used in the form of injections, without the recommendation of his attending physician, then patients often choose tablets on their own. Although this is also unacceptable, since you can cause significant harm to your body. Therefore, we will consider several main analogues of Diphenhydramine in tablets.

Kalmaben

Antihistamine. The active component of the drug is diphenhydramine. Available in the form of white tablets. The medicine is intended for systemic use and has a hypnotic and sedative effect. In addition, the drug eliminates allergy symptoms. It is a good substitute for Diphenhydramine.

For patients over twelve years of age, it is allowed to take one tablet orally, about half an hour before bedtime, with a sufficient volume of liquid. The therapeutic course can last no more than two weeks. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe re-treatment. For allergies, medicine is prescribed for the same age category. The dosage in this case is 1 tablet no more than three times a day. Treatment lasts one and a half to two weeks.

The most common side effects include drowsiness and difficulty concentrating. There is a possibility of general weakness, headaches, and arterial hypotension. Sometimes the oral cavity may feel dry, vision blurred, nausea and a gag reflex appear, and deviations in urine output are observed. There are rare cases where allergies manifest themselves on the surface of the skin.

Improper use of this medicine leads to dependence on it.

In pharmacy kiosks, medicine is dispensed according to a doctor's prescription. Its cost is from 8 Russian rubles.

From reviews of patients who took Kalmaben, it follows that the medicine can create a lethargic effect the next day after taking it. This is especially pronounced if the sleep was short.

Dramamine

Another analogue of Diphenhydramine in tablets without a doctor’s prescription is a drug with an active substance called dimenhydrinate. The medicine creates an antiemetic and antinausea effect, prevents the synthesis of acetylcholine, eliminates dizziness, and has a sedative, anti-allergic, and local anesthetic effect.

Prescribed for:

  • prevention or therapy of kinetosis, sea and airborne diseases;
  • providing assistance in eliminating manifested deviations in the vestibular apparatus;
  • eliminating dizziness and nausea;
  • used in the treatment of Meniere's disease.

Patients over the age of twelve are prescribed 50–100 mg no more than three times a day. When preventing kinetosis, it is recommended to take the same dose half an hour before the trip. Dramamine is allowed to be taken per day in an amount not exceeding 400 mg.

Young patients whose age ranges from 1 to 6 years are prescribed from 12.5 to 25 mg of the drug, distributed over three doses. Older children can be given 25–50 mg three times a day. The dosage of the drug can be set and adjusted by the attending physician. The medication should be taken before meals.

Dramamine should not be used by patients who have individual sensitivity to the components of the drug, those suffering from epilepsy, seizures, acute dermatosis, children under one year of age, women during pregnancy and nursing mothers.

Particular care must be taken in patients suffering from angle-closure glaucoma, hyperplasia, gastrointestinal ulcers, and cervical obstruction.

In case of an overdose, a feeling of dryness appears in the nose and mouth, breathing slows down, and confusion appears in consciousness. In such situations, it is recommended to urgently rinse the stomach and take activated charcoal.

This drug can be purchased at the pharmacy without a prescription, its cost is from 130 Russian rubles. The price depends on the manufacturer and packaging.

Many patients claim that Dramamine eliminates symptoms, but does not cure the disease itself. Before you start taking this drug, you should consult your doctor to determine the dosage that is right for you.

In any case, when choosing what to replace Diphenhydramine with, you should follow the recommendations of your doctor.

Until recently, one of the most common drugs used in various emergency cases in adults and children was Diphenhydramine. This is a fairly cheap medicine that effectively relieves pain, inflammation, swelling, and allergic reactions. In addition, Diphenhydramine has sedative properties. But this drug causes many side effects. Therefore, recently they have practically abandoned it. It is believed that it is better to use some analogue of Diphenhydramine, which is just as effective, but safer. The emergence of new drugs has made it possible to abandon many old drugs. Although in hospital settings Diphenhydramine is still often used to relieve allergic attacks.

Instructions for use

The price, analogues and side effects of this medicine are now known mainly to doctors. In recent years, it has been almost impossible to buy Diphenhydramine at a pharmacy. Although previously it was used very widely even for young children. Now this drug is available not only in tablets or injection solution. You can use rectal suppositories, a suspension for children, or an external allergy remedy - Psilo-Balm. Any analogue of Diphenhydramine, like the drug itself, is contraindicated in the following cases:

  • with peptic ulcer;
  • pathologies of the bladder;
  • epilepsy;
  • prostatic hyperplasia;
  • during breastfeeding;
  • children under 7 months.
  • Why is Diphenhydramine used less frequently?

    Diphenhydramine, which is the basis of this drug and its analogues, often has negative effects on patients. Although this substance is eliminated from the body within 24 hours, it manages to cause considerable harm. Therefore, it is very dangerous to take Diphenhydramine on your own, without a doctor’s testimony. It is especially not recommended for use by young children and people who need increased concentration at work. Any analogue of Diphenhydramine containing the same active ingredients gives the following side effects:

  • weakness, drowsiness;
  • deterioration of psychomotor reactions;
  • dizziness, euphoria;
  • excitement, irritability;
  • convulsions, epileptic seizures, tremors;
  • impaired coordination of movements;
  • dry mucous membranes;
  • decreased blood pressure;
  • heart rhythm disturbances.
  • How to buy an analogue of Diphenhydramine without a doctor's prescription

    It is now very difficult to buy this drug in a pharmacy. Although it costs a penny - about 30 rubles for 10 pieces. Suppositories and children's suspension are a little more expensive, but a doctor's prescription is required to purchase. Indeed, due to the fact that in large doses the drug has a hallucinogenic effect and causes euphoria, it was often used by drug addicts. If you really need to buy an analogue of Diphenhydramine without a doctor’s prescription, you can ask for drugs containing the same active ingredient:

  • "Allergin";
  • "Diphenhydramine Bufus";
  • "Diphenhydramine Vial";
  • "Grandim";
  • "Psilo-balm."
  • But it is better not to take these medications on your own. If you really need to treat, for example, an allergic reaction, you can use safer antihistamines that have the same effect as Diphenhydramine: Zyrtec, Claritin, Diazolin, Suprastin and others. And as a sleeping pill, it is best to use plant-based preparations that contain extracts of motherwort, valerian, and mint.

    What effect does Diphenhydramine have?

    This drug belongs to the first generation antihistamines. When ingested, Diphenhydramine is quickly absorbed into the blood, penetrates the brain and blocks histamine receptors. Thanks to this, within 15-20 minutes after taking the drug the following effect appears:

  • spasms of smooth muscles of internal organs are relieved;
  • capillary permeability decreases;
  • pain goes away;
  • the urge to vomit decreases;
  • allergic reactions are prevented;
  • itching, allergic rhinitis goes away;
  • the patient calms down and falls asleep easier.
  • Diphenhydramine acts quickly, which is why it is still used in hospitals to relieve allergic attacks. Moreover, the result of its use lasts 10-12 hours.

    When is the use of Diphenhydramine indicated?

    Just a few decades ago, this drug was in every family, and it was often used. Doctors even prescribed it to small children. At the pharmacy you could buy any analogue of Diphenhydramine in tablets without a prescription, and it cost a penny. This drug is effective in the following cases:

  • anaphylactic shock;
  • Quincke's edema;
  • urticaria, hay fever;
  • angioedema;
  • conjunctivitis;
  • vasomotor rhinitis;
  • dermatitis with severe itching;
  • chorea;
  • seasickness;
  • insomnia.
  • This drug is ineffective for bronchospasm of an allergic nature. To eliminate such an attack, it is better to use an analogue of Diphenhydramine - Diazolin. The main active ingredient in it is a different component, but the effect is very similar: it relieves allergies and has a sedative effect.

    Injections containing Diphenhydramine

    Most often now this drug is used in emergency cases. Therefore, it is used in hospitals for injections alone or as part of other drugs. If you need to eliminate Quincke's edema or other serious allergic reactions, use Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, Diphenhydramine Vial, Diphenhydramine Bufus or simply Diphenhydramine. The best analogue of Diphenhydramine in ampoules is the drug Grandim. It helps relieve attacks of seasickness, hay fever, and recover faster from injuries and burns. After all, it begins to act within 15 minutes after administration. Hospitals also often use mixtures that contain Diphenhydramine. They are fast-acting and quite effective.

  • the most common mixture is “Troichatka”. It includes "Diphenhydramine", "Analgin" and "Papaverine". It is used to reduce blood pressure and temperature, relieve pain after injuries and surgeries, and in other emergency cases. But recently, an analogue of Diphenhydramine, Loratadine, is increasingly being included in this mixture.
  • Boyko's mixture is also an effective medicine. It is used to relieve severe pain in diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Its main components are “Analgin” and “Diphenhydramine”. They are rarely replaced with analogues, as they are more effective. Other components are added depending on the situation. These can be “Papaverine”, “Novocaine”, “No-Shpa”, “Prozerin”, vitamin B12.
  • Antihistamines - analogues of Diphenhydramine

    Diphenhydramine is one of the earliest antihistamines. It is included in some first-generation allergy medications. In addition to Diphenhydramine, Allergin and Grandim have similar compositions. These drugs have the same contraindications and side effects as Diphenhydramine itself. Therefore, if you have individual intolerance, it is recommended to choose a drug with a different composition. The best analogue of Diphenhydramine in tablets is Diazolin. Their actions are almost completely identical. "Diazolin" also relieves allergic reactions, makes breathing easier and eliminates itching. In addition, it has a mild hypnotic effect. Therefore, for those who are accustomed to escape from illness with the help of Diphenhydramine, you can buy Diazolin. But it is best, especially for children, to use second and third generation antihistamines. They are more effective and have almost no side effects. These are Clarotadine, Loragexal, Telfast, Zyrtec, Fenistil and others. But often such drugs do not have a sedative effect.
