Sudafed is decongestant that contains pseudoehedrine as an active ingredient. It shrinks your blood vessels and decreases congestion. Benadryl contains diphehidramine as an active ingredient. Diphenhidramine is antihistamine. Benadryl can put you to sleep and also can dry out your secretions. As you can see, by yourself those two medications are working for the same "cause", but in different ways. There is no interaction between them.
