Driving After Diphenhydramine

Greetings,

A question has come up at our Radiology Clinic regarding patient's ability to drive home after receiving diphenhydramine for an allergic reaction. Does anyone have an institutional policy or standard of practice on this (e.g. patients are advised not drive for X hrs, or patients are not allowed to drive themselves, etc.)?

Thank you,
Daniel
