Question 5028
Are modern antihistamines safer for driving?
- Yes, but they must not be mixed with alcohol or with other medications.
- Yes, since they can be mixed without problems with other medications.
- No, they cause drowsiness like all antihistamines.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, but they must not be mixed with alcohol or with other medications.
Second- or third-generation nonsedating antihistamines don't cause drowsiness like older ones, so they're safer. Even so, they're not risk-free. Don't take them with alcohol, which intensifies their effects, or combine them with other medications unless your doctor tells you to.
