Are modern antihistamines safer for driving?

Correct answer

Yes, but they must not be combined with alcohol or other medicines.

Antihistamines currently used do not, in themselves, cause a problem for driving vehicles, as they do not cause sedation and allow the driver to operate the vehicle safely. However, if we combine these medicines with alcohol or drugs, this may cause drowsiness and an increase in the driver's reaction time.
