C1Difficulty 3/5

Before driving, is it advisable to take a medicine on your own without checking its warnings or seeking advice about possible effects on driving?

Correct answer

No.

No. Being sold without prescription or treating an apparently mild illness does not guarantee compatibility with driving. Read the leaflet and ask a doctor or pharmacist about effects and interactions, explaining that you need to drive. Follow the advised regimen and do not independently change or stop a prescribed treatment. If drowsiness, dizziness or other effects impair your ability, do not drive and seek healthcare advice.
