It is very common that, on occasions, we are sleepy during the day and we do not know how to relate it to any cause. The truth is that if we are medicated, there are many drugs that cause excessive drowsiness without us being informed of it.
Although health professionals sometimes miss out on alerting patients to these types of adverse drug reactions, it is essential that when starting a new treatment we inform ourselves about the type of drug we are going to take.
Being well informed about the treatment under which we are medicated can avoid many complications. For example, one of the most widely used drugs that cause excessive drowsiness are benzodiazepines.
These drugs, by producing sleep, can cause both work and traffic accidents in patients who have consumed them and were unaware of this adverse reaction. Therefore, it is essential to know these effects to prevent this type of outcome.
