Allergic rash: You can take 4 10mg Claritin (loratadine) a day for chronic hives. Be sure it is Claritin (loratadine) plain without decongestant. Avoid Sulfite-containing foods like wine,dried fruits,radishes,potatoes,shrimp

I took 10 mg loratadine (non drowsy 24 hr Claritin) 8 hours ago for my allergies. It didnt work and Im trying to go to bed so i was wondering if it was safe to take 25 mg diphenhydramine HCl (Benadryl) since it does make you drowsy?
