Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
Antihistamines may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, and otherwise impair mental and physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks, such as driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
Sympathomimetic amines should be used cautiously, extremely carefully and sparingly in patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, increased intraocular pressure, narrow-angle glaucoma, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction, symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy, bladder-neck obstruction, hyperthyroidism or prostatic hypertrophy. Sympathomimetics may produce central nervous system stimulation with convulsions or cardiovascular collapse with accompanying hypotension.
Products which contain diphenhydramine should not be used in combination with other diphenhydramine formulations; in rare cases toxic psychosis has occurred in children who received combinations of two or more diphenhydramine formulations by any route of administration including topically applied preparations.
At high doses or in sensitive patients, codeine may produce dose-related respiratory depression by acting directly on the brain stem respiratory center. Codeine also affects the center that controls respiratory rhythm, and may produce irregular and periodic breathing.
The respiratory depressant effects of narcotics and their capacity to elevate cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be markedly exaggerated in the presence of head injury, other intracranial lesions or a preexisting increase in intracranial pressure. Furthermore, narcotics produce adverse reactions which may obscure the clinical course of patients with head injuries.
The administration of narcotics may obscure the diagnosis or clinical course of patients with acute abdominal conditions.
Diphenhydramine should not be administered to premature or full-term neonates. Infants may have greater susceptibility than adults to the toxic effects of diphenhydramine. Adults who administer diphenhydramine to children should be aware that children may be at increased risk for excitability and central nervous system stimulation. Antihistamine may impair mental alertness in children.
