PJ,

Sure. Benadryl is one of the easiest things to compound!

Can you get legal Benadryl?

PJ

I was looking into Bendaryl lately and have concluded this would have

to be compounded. There are tablets, capsules, and liquid forms. The

caps and tabs have corn starch or lactose, and the stuff in the

liquid is really a bad list! Now, it IS long off-patent and

therefore can be compounded. I called one of my compounding

pharmacies and they do it so presumably others could/would.
