Prescription drugs causing more accidents

Recent studies have concluded that prescription drugs continue to play a larger and larger role in serious and fatal accidents. Dangerous side effects of prescription drugs include dizziness, headaches, memory problems, loss of balance and hearing and vision impairments. When more than one drug is involved, these and other serious problems can arise as interaction effects between the drugs. Sadly, individuals who are suffering these effects often do not realize whether or to what extent they are impaired until it is too late and an accident has occurred.
