MEDICINAL DRUGS AND DRIVING: EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE WITH DISSEMINATION AND INFORMATION TO PHYSICIANS, PHARMACISTS, PATIENTS AND THE PUBLIC

In the last few years informative campaigns concerning medicinal drugs and driving have been carried out in several European Union countries. The aim of this article is to take a look at these campaigns and our own experience with a view to analysing the points that should be highlighted in them, the main types of drugs which affect driving, advice to patient-drivers, and, finally, giving some examples of campaigns undertaken in these last years. Of course, the groups concerned, professionals - physicians and pharmacists -, patients, the public in general, will determine the characteristics of what to include. For the covering abstract see ITRD E106992.
