1 Answers
Taking antibiotics, cold medicine, antihypertensive drugs, cough suppressants and analgesics, sedatives and hypnotics, or hypoglycemic drugs can impair driving ability. Here is a brief introduction to some of these medications: 1. Cold Medicine: Most common cold medicines contain antihistamine ingredients, which are active substances in the human body. When stimulated by allergens, the body releases histamine, causing various allergic symptoms. Side effects such as drowsiness, slowed reaction time, and tachycardia can affect driving. 2. Summary: These medications can cause side effects in drivers, including dizziness, vertigo, blurred vision, decreased visual acuity, fatigue, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.
