Prescription Drug DUI in College Park

DUI cases are highly complicated, and many people are unaware of the nuances of DUI law. For example, we have represented multiple clients who were unaware that you could be charged with DUI without having any alcohol or engaging in illegal drugs.  If you are on prescription drugs that can affect your ability to drive, an officer can arrest you for prescription drug DUI. These penalties are the same as a conviction for DUI alcohol.

A prescription drug DUI can include over the counter medications, allergy medications, and other legal prescriptions. Many of our clients are under the false assumption that just because they have taken a legitimate prescription, it is okay to drive while taking it. Several medications can cause drowsiness that can cause them to drive impaired. As soon as your driving becomes impaired, the act comes illegal. Drugs that can affect your driving include prescription painkillers, muscle relaxers, cough syrup, anxiety medications, and nighttime cold or flu medicine.

Even if you have a valid prescription for the drug, this will not be a sufficient defense if you are found to have been a less safe driver due to the consumption of medication. Our DUI Attorneys in College Park understand how to properly defend against a prescription drug DUI charge. Call now and discover how we can assist with your case.
