According to the PDR, "Dramamine may cause drowsiness. Be especially cautious

warning.

The key word in there is "may". Try it. If it makes you drowsy, don't fly when
taking it. If it doesn't produce unpleasant or dangerous side effects when you
take it, go fly.

And what medical testing would you use to determine if it did not produce any unpleasant
or dangerous side effects during flight? Your advice to "go fly" is bad advice and the
absence of a drug on the prohibited list does not mean that it is permitted. Don't take
my word for it, talk to your AME.
