No, Advil (ibuprofen) does not affect antihistamines. Advil inhibits the cyclo-oxidase enzymes to reduce inflammation and pain. Anti-histamines block histamine receptors and so decrease Allergies. The two are unrelated.

Does diphenhydramine raise your blood sugar?

Benadryl contains one of several antihistamines. The antihistamine is an inhibitor of histamine. The histamine is a vasodilator produced by the body to dilate the blood vessels in the body. The antihistamine has the properties of acting as a vasoconstrictor by inhibiting the vasodilator effects of histamine. Therefore, the antihistamine constricts a little bit the blood vessels which means that it could increase the blood pressure of the individual.
