Precautions and warnings from Benalet
You should inform your doctor of any unpleasant reactions during treatment with BENALET®, such as: sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, decreased mucus secretion, constipation, dry mouth, urinary retention, nausea and vomiting.
When using BENALET®, you should avoid drinking alcohol. If you consume substantial amounts (large amounts) of alcohol and / or have a history of kidney or liver failure, BENALET® should be used with caution, following medical guidelines.
BENALET® mint and lemon honey flavors contain the yellow TARTRAZINE dye (FD&C no 5) which can cause allergic reactions, including bronchial asthma, especially in people allergic to acetylsalicylic acid.
Drug interactions of Benalet
The combination of BENALET® with other antitussives such as codeine is not advisable.
You should avoid using BENALET® in conjunction with :
- other products containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride, even those applied to the skin ;
- alcohol or monoaminoxidase inhibitors (eg.: selegiline, moclobemide), as blood pressure may drop and may interfere with the central nervous system and respiratory function ;
- antiarrhythmic drugs (eg.: disopyramine, sotalol).
The effect of diphenhydramine hydrochloride can be enhanced by other anticholinergic substances such as atropine, biperidene, tricyclic antidepressants (eg.: imipramine, amitriptyline) or monoaminoxidase inhibitors, which may result in life-threatening intestinal paralysis, urinary retention or acute elevation of intraocular pressure.
The use of diphenhydramine hydrochloride with other CNS depressant drugs such as hypnotics (eg.: alprazolam, phenobarbital), opioid analgesics (eg.: codeine, morphine) and alcohol can lead to an unpredictable potentiation of the effects of both drugs.
Use of Benalet in pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: safety for use during pregnancy has not been established. BENALET® should only be used when the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus and should not be used during the last 3 months of pregnancy, as diphenhydramine crosses the placenta. Newborns and premature babies can have serious reactions, such as seizures.
This medicine should not be used by pregnant women without medical or dental guidance.
Tell your doctor or dentist if you are using any other medicine.
