Not so fun fact: Benadryl™ and similar drugs have been linked to dementia in older patients. I found this out when my doc told me to quit taking it as a sleep aid.

Maybe I’m a minority here, but do people typically buy medicines and not read the ingredients?

I was trained early since reading medicine labels is a good way to find a nearby generic that's cheaper... but most of my partners have looked at me funny for doing so.
