Can you take benadryl on ibrance? The itching and scratching is driving me crazy. Weird that I didn't have this on 125 dose, but do on the 75 dose

Could it be something else? It is a little unusual but unfortunately you can become allergic to anything at anytime. I hesitate to give my advice. Think you should let your doc know. Do u have a rash? I’d call the on call number.

Sorry to hear about your itching, it can be very annoying. I have taken benadryl but I suggest consulting with a advise nurse or your doc.

I thought I was crazy, but I've gotten itchy as well. Thought it might be from Ibrance, but never mentioned it. I have taken Bendryl for it, esp. at night. Maybe I"ll remember to mention to my Onc. Thanks.

I had itching with elevated liver enzymes. Be sure to have your LFT monitored. 🤗

I have constant itching, face, head, back. I use Aquaphor on my back, but I will ask my doc about Benadryl this week. The only thing is it makes you more sleepy. You can't win with these meds!!

Yes you can take Benedryl. I also have extensive, constant itching at night. My doctor gave me a prescription for hydroxyzine, which worked for a while. Also alternate with other anti-histamines.

Not what you're looking for?
