Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. Diphenhydramine is used to treat allergic reactions, atopic dermatitis, or itchy skin, motion sickness, vomiting, coughing, or anxiety. Histamines are chemicals that are released in the body in response to inflammation or allergies. When histamines attach to H-1 receptors in the body, it causes the blood vessels to widen which leads to swelling and itchiness. Diphenhydramine blocks the effects of histamines, reducing inflammation and itchiness.
