Can benadryl cause vomiting?

I took Benadryl for some allergy symptoms last night, and later I felt quite nauseous and actually vomited. Is feeling sick to your stomach a common side effect of this medicine?

Hey, don't stress too much. Yes, Benadryl can sometimes upset your stomach and cause nausea or vomiting, especially if you take it on an empty stomach. Try to drink some water and rest, but if it keeps happening, definitely check with your doc.

I have experienced mild nausea after taking antihistamines before, so it might be a side effect. But I am not a doctor, so if you are vomiting continuously, it is much safer to consult a healthcare professional to see if you are reacting to the drug.

Bro, yes, I threw up once after taking Benadryl because it was super strong and made me feel dizzy. The drowsiness and stomach upset sometimes happen together. If it doesn't suit you, just stop taking it and ask your doctor for another medicine.

Haan yaar, kisi-kisi ko Benadryl se bohot zyada acidity aur ulti jaisa lagne lagta hai na. Heavy dose ki wajah se stomach upset ho sakta hai. Agar vomiting ho rahi hai to use lene se pehle doctor se consult kar lena chahiye.

I recently had a bad allergic cough and took some Benadryl, and it literally made me throw up within half an hour. My doctor told me it can occasionally cause gastric irritation in some people. They changed my prescription and I was fine after that.
