How does Diphenhydramine affect patients with glaucoma, and are there contraindications or precautions for its use in such individuals?
Diphenhydramine can exacerbate angle-closure glaucoma by increasing intraocular pressure. Use with caution or avoid in patients with glaucoma.
Diphenhydramine may worsen glaucoma due to its anticholinergic effects, which can raise eye pressure. Patients with glaucoma should consult their doctor before use.
