It can be unsafe to drive after taking medication. It can affect how you take in and process information, your reaction times and perception of reality. It can also make you more fatigued. You could harm yourself or other people.
It’s also illegal to drive when impaired, whatever the cause of the impairment (symptoms, illness, injury). Being impaired is when your body or emotions have been affected (usually temporarily) in a way that can make it unsafe for you to drive.
Talk to a health care professional (nurse, doctor, pharmacist) about any medication you’re taking (as well as any other substances such as illegal drugs or alcohol), to find out how it may affect your driving.
