Compared with sedating first-generation antihistamines, which statement about more recent generations is correct?

Correct answer

Some cause less drowsiness, but their effects must still be assessed before driving.

Some cause less drowsiness and driving impairment, but they are not free from adverse effects or a guarantee of safe driving. Effects depend on the medicine, dose, individual response and other treatments. Read the leaflet’s driving section and consult a doctor or pharmacist; do not drive if drowsy, dizzy or unable to concentrate. Do not self-medicate or combine treatment with alcohol.
