What should you bear in mind about newer antihistamines and driving?

Correct answer

They may be less sedating, but check their effects and precautions.

Some are less sedating than older medicines, but they can cause drowsiness and do not guarantee safe driving. Effects depend on the medicine and individual response. Read the leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist about driving and interactions; avoid alcohol and do not drive if drowsy or impaired. Do not combine medicines on your own or change or stop treatment without advice.
