Yep. Dirt cheap as a OTC generic. I use it as a sleep aid. It’s perfectly harmless.

Not anymore. I'm surprised you've survived so long taking such a dangerous life threatening drug.

Not exactly a perfectly harmless drug. It’s has strong anticholinergic side effects, especially in children and the elderly. You don’t want to gulp this stuff and drive, you may fall asleep behind the wheel. An older person may not be able to pee for a week and have instant Parkinson’s disease symptoms. There are much better antihistamines available. Read the warning label, they’re are much safer H1 blockers like Zyrtec. It’s far from a benign drug, especially in children where it can easily be lethal.

My understanding is that it causes hypertension when taken long term. So not perfectly harmless, long term.

I take it occasionally for allergies. But only occassionally.

Yes it is harmless for most people. But some people, like my wife, the darn stuff jacks their blood pressure up. Fortunately that’s easy enough to determine for everybody
