This thread is broadly about antihistamines to help prevent or treat covid symptoms. This post is about how to help your COVID vaccinations not flatten you.
The dosage and timing for pre-vaccination is EITHER:
- 50mg diphenhydramine (Benadryl) OR 50mg promethazine (Phenergan) 15 minutes before the shot OR
- 20mg cetirizine OR 20mg loratidine 2-3 hours before the shot
Only take one of those (ie, don't take Benadryl AND cetirizine).
