Abstract:
Impaired driving is a major cause of motor vehicle accidents, injury, and fatality.

This article will explore medications with side effects posing a potential threat to drivers, including anxiolytics, sedative hypnotics, antihistamines, and antidepressants, as well as describe potential strategies for mitigating or minimizing such risks.
