The effects of the sub-chronic administration of an anti-histamine, clemastine, on tests of car driving ability and psychomotor performance.

A double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial was carried out in 21 normal volunteers to study the effects of sub-chronic administration of clemastine on car driving ability and psychomotor performance. Subjects were assessed on 5 tests representing various aspects of everyday car driving experience, and on subjective rating scales for mood, sleep, and psychomotor integration. The results showed that repeated doses of 1 mg clemastine b.d. for 3 days had no significant consistent effect on any of the parameters measured.
