But 16 per cent set behind the wheel, if you are due to the ingestion of a medicinal product does not fit fümiss.

"So gefäyou may be infected themselves and andere", warns Professor Matthias Graw of the Institute für legal medicine of the Universität MüMunich. And womöoffsetting the liability insurance takes the responsible for causing the accident in subrogation, it remains to cover the costs. Yasmin Hassan, a pharmacy owner from Saarbrücover, recommends: "The one who takes a drug, you should pre-über möpossible risks inform. In the pharmacy, at the doctor or on the package label."

The two experts erklären, what are the sensations of the car are better, should stay:

“I’m so müde and unfocused”

Especially sleeping pills and sedatives beeinträthe driving safety interfere significantly – even at the näfor the next day. “The active ingredient is not in the Morning vollstäfully the remains of dismantled, in the Köbody schrärestrict the Reaktionsvermöa gene”, erklärt Yasmin Hassan. The f&uuml applicable;r-the-counter Präparate. ­­Sedatives from the group of benzodiazepines to reduce zusäin addition, the muscle tension, motor Fäskills, the car is harder to control. Pharmacist Yasmin Hassan rät therefore, instead of synthetic sleeping pills to herbal Alternatives that do not have these side effects.

Also, drugs against allergies often make müde and you should not take this in the evening. Painkillers köcan also the Reaktionsvermögen slow down. "Especially if a Patient is re-set to a strong pain medicine, he should take a drive in the car verzichten", so Graw. Even in the case of over-the-counter Präparaten such as Ibuprofen caution is appropriate. "Problematic especially h&ouml are;here doses, or if patients, several drugs at the same time einnehmen", Yasmin Hassan says. Side effects verstäTurks may be to each other, interactions are möpossible.

"My eyes make Probleme"

"Especially äolder traffic participants should regelmäßig your Sehfäability to überprüfen lassen", Transport doctor Graw says. Not only diseases such as gray and grüner Star schrärestrict the Sehfäability to and thus the Fahr­­fitness, but also certain medicines. So köcan eye drops against allergic Bindehautentzümaking vorütemporarily the point of view trüben, as well as solution here are eye gels and ointments. This, therefore, is best shortly before bedtime, apply.

Acne preparations with Isotretinoin or Kortisonpräparate köcan lälong-term application of a Linsentrübung. And some antidepressants and antibiotics beeinträinterfere with Anpassungsfäability of the lens to NäHey, and distance.

The f&uuml is;r in the context of augenämedical studies used pupil widening drops. Pharmacist Yasmin Hassan: "Until the effect is subsided, it is allowed to drive the Patient yourself."

"I’m so schwummerig"

Some drugs gefäthe drive may be infected, particularly at the beginning of treatment. Blood pressure-lowering drug, for example, köcan in the setting phase or in the case of Dosisächanges to stäfluctuations in blood pressure f&uuml more powerful;do – Dizziness and drowsiness, including. "The Köthe body needs time to get used to the medication gewöhnen", Yasmin Hassan says. If I have everything recorded and the Patient consider the doctor prescribed dosage, köhe nne of the Straßtraffic participate.

Also, epilepsy patients müshot medikamentös be well set to secure a vehicle fülisten to köcan. Otherwise, epileptic Anf&auml threaten;lle at the wheel. Physicians Graw bestärequired: "Epilepsy is diagnosed newly, speaks the doctor of medical Grüa ärztliches driving ban until the Patient is seizure-free." It Concerned should necessarily &ndash keep; not only because they are in an accident, the cost to carry mü.

"I’m confused and desorientiert"

Diabetes patients köcan with loss of control, behavioral and Bewusstseinsstöfuses react if your medications the blood sugar value vorütemporarily to greatly reduce.

Striking confusion and Orientierungsstöconclusions kösymptoms of a beginning can also be dementia. "The driving suitability to überprüfen, should äolder drivers regelmäßig traffic medically examine lassen", rät physician Matthias Graw.

However, not only chronic diseases such as Diabetes or epilepsy, and their treatment köthe driving safety beeintr&auml can;mighty. Supposedly harmless Erkältungen, influenza, hay fever, or ­Gastrointestinal complaints are mit­under a reason to leave the car. "With fever gehöit is rt not behind the Steuer", expert Graw emphasized. When you Sneeze, cough or strongly tränenden eyes will lose the driver quickly control üabout his vehicle.

Over-The-Counter Erkäswitching means make it, however, is often not better.  "Especially Kombinationspräspecimens with pseudo-ephedrine and Central dämpfende antitussives, such as codeine beeinträinterfere with the Konzentrationsvermögene and the Fahrsicherheit", Yasmin Hassan warns. You rät, centrally acting cough suppressants only at bedtime, as well as Anti-allergic agents for acute hay fever.
