Benadryl Allergy Relief Capsules (12)

Benadryl Allergy Relief helps ease everyday allergy symptoms, including hay fever and reactions caused by pets, dust, or skin irritants.

It contains acrivastine, an antihistamine that helps calm your body’s allergic response. When you come into contact with something you are allergic to, your body releases a substance called histamine, which causes symptoms like sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, and itchy skin.

By blocking this reaction, Benadryl Allergy Relief helps you feel more comfortable so you can get on with your day.

Benadryl is fact-acting and can ease symptoms in as little as 15 minutes.
