New York Times, August 14, 2007 UTMB's Dr. Wayne Snodgrass is quoted in a New York Times article today regarding the use of over-the-counter cold and allergy drugs to sedate children. He says: "Diphenhydramine, the main compound in Benadryl, also predates current drug agency standards and was never tested in children, but it is lower on the review's list of priorities." Snodgrass is a professor of pediatrics in pharmacology and toxicology at UTMB Galveston and chairman of the committee on drugs for the American Academy of Pediatrics.
