ketotifen vs benadryl

[adrenaline99]

Have any of you had success with using benadryl instead of keto while using albuterol? If so how much benadryl did you use?

[Bert]

I believe I used 25mg of benedryl but I'm not certain.

Benadryl is useless for this purpose. Ketotifen, 1mg/day, at night, right before bed.
Keto 30 ML 1 MG/ML

So is benedryl a wives tale?

I doubt anybody's wife is spreading false info about diphenhydramine and beta-2 agonists.
More likely a gym bro's tale...lol

just for education purposes, what exactly is going on here? why is benadryl being used with albuterol?

Ketotifen (a second generation prescription antihistamine) is known to upregulate beta receptors, allowing one to run beta agonists without desensitisation. So some guys (probably falsely) assume that diphenhydramine (Benadryl in the US) does the same, since it is a first-generation antihistamine.

'That's what I always heard.

I used both B & K during separate Clen cycles. Keto worked better.
