What is banophen?

Banophen is a brand name for the drug diphenhydramine, which is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. It is also used to treat motion sickness, insomnia, and mild cases of Parkinson's disease.

Banophen works by blocking the action of histamine in the body, which helps to reduce symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

It is available over-the-counter in the form of tablets, capsules, liquid, and topical cream. The recommended dosage and frequency of Banophen will vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual's age and weight.

Common side effects of Banophen may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as confusion, hallucinations, seizures, and difficulty breathing may occur.

It is important to talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using Banophen, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications. It is not recommended for use in children under 2 years old without medical guidance.
