Your doctor prescribes an allergy medicine. After the first dose, you feel sleepy and slow, and you need to get to work. What should you do?
Correct answer: Get another ride, and ask your doctor or pharmacist about the side effects
Why
Medicines for colds, allergies and nerves, including some that you can buy without a prescription, can make you drowsy. Before you drive, read the label for warnings, and ask your doctor or pharmacist about side effects if you are not sure. Under NMSA 66-8-102, it is illegal to drive under the influence of any drug to a degree that makes you unable to drive safely.
