Eleven in the morning. The main street, a fountain, the pharmacy open.

00:09.000 --> 00:13.900
Some everyday medicines dull your reactions. The warning is on the box, in the small print.

00:15.300 --> 00:21.700
In a simulator, after an older antihistamine, people drove worse than after alcohol.

00:23.100 --> 00:28.500
In the same study, a newer antihistamine matched placebo. Not all medicines are the same.

00:29.900 --> 00:36.800
Those who drove worse didn't notice. How they felt said nothing about how they drove.

00:38.200 --> 00:45.500
Some medicines slow you down at the wheel. Keep taking them. Ask your doctor whether you can drive.
