Acetaminophen is an analgesic which is indicated for the treatment of mild pain and fever. Diphenylamine is an antihistamine which blocks the effects of naturally occurring histamine in the body. Diphenhyramine is indicated for the treatment of the symptoms of allergies, hay fever, and colds such as runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes. Since diphenhyramine often results in drowsiness in many users, it has also been very useful as a nighttime sleeping aid.
