Hi Vegas
Do you still have your cold???
I have taken benadrly with oxycodone before...
There is a drug interaction checker at the top of this page.
So you can look it up if you would like.
Good luck to you...
Hope you get over your cold soon.

Melinda

It's always a good idea to use the drug interaction checker at the top of the page. Remember though that this doesn't replace a dr. Please realize that any time we enter multiple drugs that have potentially calming effects you will always get a response of moderate interaction for respiratory depression. That can be a serious side effect, and it needs to be watched. But the main thing here is to be aware of the symptom, not just automatically discard the medications.

I would suggest that you ask your dr about this. This particular side effect is more dangerous for some than for others. It could be something that is not a major factor for you. Just be prudent in your choices and don't react too quickly either favorably or unfavorably. God bless.

Benadyl can increase the effects of opiates. Thats why it's mixed in with "cheese" heroin.
