This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why does American Benadryl have this Diphenhydramine in, instead of Cetirizine?

We have both. I prefer the dram.

Benadryl has been a brand in the US for decades longer than Cetirizine has even been in use, and they never changed the active ingredient when new antihistamines became available. Good thing too, cetirizine doesn't do shit for my allergies compared to DPH, and most other allergy med brands use cetirizine.
