BDifficulty 2/5

As a general rule, before driving while taking medication, what should you do?

Correct answer

Learn about possible effects and follow the healthcare professional’s instructions.

Read the leaflet, ask a healthcare professional about possible effects and follow the prescribed treatment. Not every medicine prevents driving, but do not drive if drowsiness, impaired attention or other effects compromise safety, or if instructed not to. Coffee does not remove these risks. Do not change or stop treatment on your own in order to drive.
