Allergy season is picking up, and many over-the-counter medications can affect your alertness more than you might think. Here are a few quick reminders before you get behind the wheel:
🟢 Remember that some allergy medications can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and headaches, which can affect your driving.
🟢 Thoroughly read side effects before driving, and talk to your doctor before starting any new allergy medicines.
🟢 If you feel groggy, dizzy, or like it would be unsafe for you to drive, it’s safest to avoid driving altogether.
🟢 If you’re trying a new medication or are unsure how your allergy medication will impact you, don’t take it before you have to drive.
