Important information about Benadryl Itch Stick
The active ingredient in Benadryl Itch Stick is diphenhydramine (also known as diphenhydramine HCL). Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance that causes itchiness. Through this mechanism, Benadryl Itch Stick has anti-itch effects for minor skin irritation like mosquito bites and bug bites.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide, before using Benadryl Itch Stick. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Benadryl Itch Stick:
- For adults and children 2 years of age and older, clean the affected area with soap and water. Shake the Benadryl Itch Stick well. Hold the stick straight down over the affected skin area and press the tip of stick repeatedly until liquid flows. Then you can dab the liquid on the affected area using the stick. Do not use more than 3 to 4 times daily.
- If your symptoms don’t improve after 7 days of using Benadryl Itch Stick or symptoms worsen, stop use and contact a healthcare professional.
- Benadryl Itch Stick is meant for external use only.

Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:

- Topical antihistamines.
- Medications containing diphenhydramine.
