Question 7844
After taking a medication, what should be kept in mind before driving?
- Nothing, if it was prescribed by a doctor.
- That it can alter your physical or mental state, and you should consult your doctor about its effects.
- Mainly that it has not been expired for more than 6 months.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That it can alter your physical or mental state, and you should consult your doctor about its effects.
A medication can affect your physical or mental state and cause drowsiness or dizziness, for example, even if your doctor prescribed it. Before driving, ask your doctor about its effects and read the patient information leaflet. The expiration date does not tell you how it affects driving.
