But I have scoured local drug stores for dissolvable adult-dose diphenhydramine strips with no success. Gulielmus wrote: Does anyone know? A children's dose of diphenhydramine is So just use two children's strips. Bummer they were discontinued. I used to recommend people with bee allergies keep a pack in their wallet, especially if they had a really active lifestyle.

I called our allergist's office and the nurse said we could use any antihistimine; she recommended the Allerest quick dissolving tablets. But I didn't think you were supposed to use a 24 hr antihistimine like that when you are dealing with a food allergy reaction.
At our meeting this morning, our school nurse said she's always been told NOT to use the 24 hr kind, but to use benadryl. Please give me your opinions and experiences. Is there another product like benadryl that would be appropriate to switch to? Or is it really OK to use a 24 hr product? I need to restock her fanny pack and I'm not sure what product to use. I wish I had found this out a while back, but she starts school on Monday and I need to get this straightened out.
All her emergency info sheets say to use benadryl so I have to change those too and get those out to the teachers and staff. I did get a pack of the single-dose spoons to keep in the nurse's office. I just need to know what to put in her pack. Check out Triaminic thin strips for "cough and runny nose". I think it is the same ingredients. They are individually wrapped and the actual container is not prone to leaking and quite easy to administer. This is just my opinion. You have to use what you feel comfortable with.
Good Luck. I had not heard that willnot make the chewables any more. My son didn't like the strips. I can't get the fast melts anymore either but I do use the allergy and cold version of the chewables. I was told that you really shouldn't use the 24 hr version because it i meant to g into the system slower so when you need fast acting they are not so good.
My DS hates the single dose spoons! The 24 hour meds don't help for a significant reaction. There are also two prescription film strip products on the market, Zuplenz, for nausea and vomiting and Suboxone, for treatment of opioid dependence in adults. I'm hearing too that more prescription products and even a vaccine that uses this technology might be on the way.
Benadryl, Theraflu and Children's Triaminic were available over-the-counter in film strips but have since been discontinued, probably because of poor sales. Other film strip products are currently in development. I mention all this because all of these products are flavored and may be attractive to children. This past week a mother contacted us to let us know that a child at her son's school shared what he thought were breath mint film strips with several children before it was recognized that the film strips actually contained melatonin, a hormone produced by the body that's involved in the management of sleep and wake cycles.
The product is more of a dietary supplement than a drug. It's available over-the-counter in strip form and the containers look just like the widely-available breath mint strips. Fortunately, melatonin is unlikely to be toxic to anyone at almost any dose and none of the children who placed strips in their mouth were harmed. Most concerning would be Suboxone, which was introduced recently to replace the "unsafe" pill form at about the same time the patent ran out on the Suboxone tablet.
