Benadryl the drug is diphenhydramrine HCL. is an anti-histamine. It helps your body deal with allergens. Commonly used to treat hives, itchy/watery eyes and stuffy nose. The only benefit it might have for colds is putting you into a deep sleep for a few hours.
Sudafed proper is Pseudoephedrine. is a decongestant. For sure it helps deal with a stuffy nose that might come with a cold. You have to constantly eat the 4 hour ones, but the 12 hour ones are crazy strong.
Sudafed PE is that garbage phenylephrine stuff. It doesn't seem to work but you can't make meth out of it.
Apparently the FDA wants to take out phenylephrine and products containing it. Not what most people would consider to be Benadryl or Sudafed.
This title is misleading.
