Driving Can Be Impaired by Alcohol and Medication Too
14 Oct 2024
Don’t drink and drive. It takes only one mistake to result in irreparably altered lives, or worse. But also remember, certain antidepressants, opioids, and other prescription drugs may cause impairment. If you are taking a prescription drug, find out from your doctor about whether it might have an effect on your ability to operate a vehicle or any other potentially dangerous equipment. If you get a prescription for new medication or if you start taking a higher dose of a current drug, do not drive until you know what effect it has on your judgment, coordination, and reaction time.
