Correct answer
They can have negative effects on driving.
Some can cause drowsiness, dizziness or other effects that impair driving even when sold without a prescription. Read the leaflet, especially the driving and machinery section, and ask a doctor or pharmacist about risks and suitable alternatives. Do not drive if the medicine or symptoms reduce your ability. Do not stop necessary treatment on your own either: untreated illness can impair driving. Non-prescription status does not demonstrate that a medicine is harmless at the wheel.
