… dealing with antihistamine-caused dementia.

There is that rumor but no current tested proof.

There is that rumor but no current tested proof.


Two years ago, my allergist said to stop taking Benadryl (as a sleep aid) because of the study showing a link to dementia (due to it being anticholinergic). OTOH, a month ago my ENT said that the basis for that association is “very loose” and that consistent lack of sleep is much more likely to contribute to dementia than Benadryl.

You mean when they published this study?

About anticholinergics like diphenhydramine and increased risk of dementia?

“Conclusions and Relevance Higher cumulative anticholinergic use is associated with an increased risk for dementia. Efforts to increase awareness among health care professionals and older adults about this potential medication-related risk are important to minimize anticholinergic use over time.”
