Follow the directions on the packaging! Then use some common sense. Some states look at the possible effects of some cough medicine as an impairment. Some states leave the driver in charge about the decision. It is up to you to be a responsible driver. It is up to you to take responsibility for your actions.

Not sure what you're after here, but if you mean can you get a DUI from driving while taking cough medicine, the answer is yes. you can get a DUI from taking ANY medicine, if it is impairing your ability to drive, regardless if it is prescription or not. If you get pulled for suspicion of DUI, and they find something in your blood that they can point to as a cause for your erratic driving, you WILL face charges. I know this from first hand experience.

Most cough medicine has ingredients that can make you sleepy and advises you to avoid driving or using heavy equipment until you know how it affects you. Some do have alcohol as an ingredient. If you were driving in a dangerous manner, you could be pulled over and charged.

No as some cough syrups can give you sleep, so it is dangerous to drive.
