Explanation
Most cold medications can make a person drowsy. This is because many over-the-counter cold remedies contain ingredients that can cause drowsiness as a side effect. Drowsiness impairs your ability to drive safely by slowing reaction times and reducing alertness, which increases the risk of accidents. It’s important to check the labels of any medications you take and understand their effects on your driving before getting behind the wheel.
