C1Difficulty 2/5

Must a driver undergoing medical treatment take any special precaution?

Correct answer

Yes, read the package leaflet or consult a doctor to find out whether the medicine affects driving.

Yes. Read the leaflet’s driving and machine-use section and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Some medicines may cause drowsiness, dizziness, visual disturbance or reduced attention, particularly when starting treatment or changing dose. Do not reduce or stop medication on your own to drive; if your ability is affected, avoid driving and seek professional advice. The pictogram warns you to consult the leaflet; it does not itself impose a blanket ban.
