Do antihistamines described as non-drowsy completely eliminate the risk of drowsiness when driving?

Correct answer

No; they usually cause less drowsiness but may still impair driving.

No. They generally cause less drowsiness than sedating antihistamines but can still cause sleepiness or other effects that impair driving. Read the leaflet and consult a healthcare professional if uncertain. Do not drive if sleepy or unable to concentrate, and avoid combining the medicine with alcohol. Being newer or described as non-drowsy does not guarantee absence of adverse effects.
