Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) and Microzide (hydrochlorothiazide). Common drug interactions include lichen planus among females and anxiety among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Benadryl and Microzide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
