Question 4072
Are the more modern antihistamines safer for driving?
- Yes, because they do not cause side effects that affect driving.
- No, taking any type of antihistamine makes it impossible to drive.
- Yes, because they cause fewer side effects.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because they cause fewer side effects.
Second- or third-generation antihistamines, called nonsedating antihistamines, relieve allergies without making you drowsy and have fewer side effects than older ones. Even so, they can affect other abilities, and you should never mix them with alcohol. Taking them doesn't prevent you from driving.
