Is it safe to take Benadryl and Pepcid both at once?

I heard a rumor that Pepcid works well for post-surgical itch. I also heard people like to use Benadryl for this. I wanted to know if you can take these both together without an adverse reaction.

...the surgeon misplaced the incision one fingerbreadth above the submammary fold, when it should be within it... fortunately this has easy and efficient solution, re-design the pattern at a later revisional procedure.You need a surgeon who is better with his pen and able to follow his own line!

Two weeks should be plenty of time to return to school if everything goes smoothly. (I have had patients return to work in 3 days.) You will have to avoid strenuous activity for at least 4-6 weeks. If you have to carry heavy books, you may want some help with that for a little while as well....

Most changes occur following breast reduction in the first several months. By the third month you will be close to your final bra size, but the final result may take up to a year.

 Unfortunately data on secondhand smoke is not very available however I would recommend three weeks if it all possible so the detrimental effects are out of your system.
