Diphenhydramine + Levomenthol is used to relieve cough and the congestion that often comes with it. Doctors also use it for allergic symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and an itchy nose, eyes or throat.
Pharmacology
Diphenhydramine has both cough-suppressing (antitussive) and antihistamine actions. It eases cough by working centrally, in the brain stem, and it also treats sneezing, runny nose and allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, nose and skin. Levomenthol acts as a decongestant and has an anti-inflammatory effect too. This helps soothe the cough, and it reduces congestion and inflammation in the nasal passage and lungs, so breathing becomes easier.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Diphenhydramine + Levomenthol can make you feel drowsy. Take extra care if you have moderate to severe kidney or liver problems, or if you have difficulty passing urine (urinary retention). People with narrow-angle glaucoma or symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy should not take diphenhydramine.
Contraindications
Don't use this medicine if you are known to be allergic to it or to any of its ingredients. Don't use it either if you have a chronic or persistent cough, such as the cough that comes with asthma, or if your cough brings up a lot of secretions, unless your doctor has told you to. People who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or who stopped taking them within the last two weeks, should not be given it.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Diphenhydramine has been used widely for many years without any harmful effects being reported. Still, it crosses the placenta and has been found in breast milk. For this reason, doctors prescribe it only when the likely benefit to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the developing baby or the breastfed infant.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Overdose
Overdose of diphenhydramine with levomenthol can cause drowsiness, hyperpyrexia and anticholinergic effects. At higher doses, CNS excitation may appear, including hallucinations, and coma or cardiovascular collapse can follow.
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Rapid gastric emptying may be useful, either with Syrup of Ipecac-induced emesis or gastric lavage, together with activated charcoal. Seizures may be controlled with Diazepam or Thiopental Sodium. Physostigmine IV may be effective in reversing severe anticholinergic symptoms.
