https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canadian-allergists-benadryl-side-effects-warning-1.5358283?fbclid=IwAR2KSil_ZnUeaxiV-behJeeT-j1vLvKCW-ezzJu1vDeCniiZuq4sxtO8jUADue to side effects, overuse, and newer options, Benadryl may become more difficult to get in Canada. Add me to the group who supports this decision, especially when it comes to food allergies. Most other antihistamines don't actually work for my seasonal allergies and yet I still support it. I hear way too many stories of Benadryl doping (to purposefully make their child sleepy), using Benadryl for food reactions, and more. Better options are out there. It's a good discussion starter for getting people to actually review their action plans and reenforce that Epinephrine is the first medication to be used in an allergic emergency.
