There are a number of drugs (both legal and illegal) that have the potential to affect driving ability. Some prescription medications also contain behaviour modifying drugs such as benzodiazepines, which can be found in valium, as well as antihistamine, commonly found in hay-fever tablets. Always check the listed side effects and follow instructions regarding use. If you are unsure about the side effects of your medication or any impact it may have on your driving ability, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
