    Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that acts as an inverse agonist at the H1 receptor to temporarily relieve symptoms of allergies, colds, and other conditions by reversing the effects of histamine. It may also have local anesthetic properties. It is indicated for relief of symptoms due to hay fever, common cold, or other upper respiratory allergies but has contraindications for people with hypersensitivity, closed angle glaucoma, high blood pressure, or enlarged prostate. Common adverse reactions include dry mouth, drowsiness, extra heartbeats, and photosensitivity. Nurses should advise patients on proper administration and precautions.
