Does driving under self-medication pose a risk to driving?

Correct answer

Yes, because some medicines can have side effects.

Yes. Some medicines, including non-prescription medicines, can cause drowsiness or other effects that impair driving. Read the leaflet and ask a doctor or pharmacist about driving during treatment. Do not drive if effects make it unsafe, and do not change prescribed treatment on your own. The risk is not limited to night-time or mixing medicines with alcohol.
