Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
ALA hist PE contains antihistamine which is known to cause drowsiness so it is. it recommended not to use it prior to driving. The effect depends from man to man but it would be more safe to take it t after driving and if you don't feel drowsiness after first intake then you can take in in future even before driving,but for the first time you should be more cautions. Wish you good health. Regards
