A member asked:
After how many hours of taking claritin, can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No wait necessary: While both are antihistamines, only Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will make you drowsy. So as a "one-time" dose, there should not be any significant problems.
