Benadryl doesn’t contain anything like that in the UK, it’s got Acrivastine instead (at least for the “rapid relief” stuff).
Cetirizine and Loratadine are the other generics, I think. I don’t find those as effective for my needs. They last longer but take longer to get to work. None of these make you drowsy.
You can only get diphenhydramine here as a sleeping aid as far as I can tell. I’m sure it works as an antihistamine as well, but I don’t know why a country so car dependent as the US would decide that hayfever sufferers should have the same driving skills as a drunk.
Because regulations in America almost always favor big corporations and not consumers/independent businesses.
I’ve lived both in UK and US and the quality of food, medication, etc is night and day. You can compare the ingredients of big mac in US and UK and you’ll see what I mean.
I actually recently watched a great show called “Dopesick” that tells the story of how American opioid crisis began. I think it does a great job explaining how stupid and ineffective FDA really is.
Yeah, as in America.
