The World Health Organization has listed seven categories of drugs that may affect safe driving after taking them, including antihistamines, antidepressants and anxiety drugs, sedative-hypnotic drugs, antipyretic and analgesics, antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, and hypoglycemic drugs.
Some doctors sorted out some common drugs and adverse reactions, and pointed out that there are more than these seven categories of drugs that affect safe driving. "For example, taking drugs such as levofloxacin, metronidazole, and tinidazole, headaches, dizziness, etc., can also occur. Digoxin, which is used to treat heart failure, may also have abnormal color vision after taking it. In addition, many people think that drinking Chinese medicine can avoid these problems, but this is not the case, such as gastrodia has a sedative and hypnotic effect, and ginseng may raise blood pressure and cause dizziness. ”
In many traffic accidents, people mistakenly think that it is just an individual's physical fatigue or lack of energy, but they do not realize that the real cause is probably medication. Vigilance should be exercised to avoid the recurrence of such accidents.
1. When you go to the doctor, take the initiative to identify yourself: "I am a driver" or "I drive to work", and remind the doctor to avoid or use as little as possible drugs that will have an adverse effect on driving. When taking medicine, you can ask the pharmacist about the precautions and listen carefully to the pharmacist's advice.
2. Please read the drug instructions carefully before each medication, if there are adverse reactions that are not conducive to driving such as drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, etc., or there are drugs with the words "do not engage in high-altitude work, drive motor vehicles, and operate precision instruments during the medication", you should avoid driving after taking the medicine.
3. If the drug itself does not require the time of taking the drug, the administration time can be adjusted so that the interval between the time of taking the drug and the driving time is as far away as possible. In general, drugs that have an effect on driving should be used with caution within 4 hours before driving, and rest for 6 hours after taking them before driving.
4. For diabetic patients, they must eat on time and in the amount after taking the medicine to avoid hypoglycemic reactions.
5. Do not increase the dosage without authorization.
6. If there is an abnormality during the medication, go to the hospital as much as possible to consult a doctor, and do not force yourself to drive to avoid traffic accidents.
