BDifficulty 2/5

If a medicine causes sleepiness or reduces attention so that you cannot drive safely, may you drive even without having consumed alcohol?

Correct answer

No, while those effects prevent safe driving.

No. Do not drive while its effects compromise safe driving. Avoiding alcohol does not eliminate medicine effects. Read the driving section of the leaflet and consult a healthcare professional, especially when starting or changing treatment. Taking a medicine does not automatically prohibit driving in every case, but the stated impairment is incompatible with safe driving. Do not stop prescribed treatment on your own.
