Anti histamine is very useful to treat the symptoms of allergies, but there are many side effects that need to be considered. First generation antihistamines can cause drowsiness, dry nose and mouth, and blurred vision. The results of the research show that those who drink antihistamine, the driving ability is worse than when drunk.
Second-generation antihistamine drug does not contain a sedative. The examples are feksofenadin and loratadin, usually do not cause drowsiness.
You would rather not drive or operate heavy equipments when using the-counter antihistamines. Despite feeling sleepy, driving ability decreases when the drug is in the body system. Avoiding alcohol also accelerates the absorption of some antihistamine and exacerbates drowsiness.
