Nothing can strike fear into the heart of parents like needing to return a potentially life saving over the counter medication like Benadryl. When I first heard the news that volunteer recalls were being suggested, I immediately went into panic mode.
Benadryl has become sort of a life line for us, and in many ways a security blanket. I trust the brand I use, and maybe its a little neurotic of me to think that a generic substitute wouldn’t be as affective. I know there isn’t any truth to that mind set, but when you get used to knowing how a product will affect your food allergic child, you’ll do what you can to keep that consistent.
There is a website you can go to find out if your particular brand of Benadryl is being recalled. Here is the website:

Hi Anjana,
You can check the website that I gave a link for to see if your Zyrtec was recalled as well.
