I have a cold and am all stuffed up and want to take some non-drowsy cold medicine(Psudoephedrine HCL) Is it legal to operate a semi (I’m in a truck driving school)while taking this.It is the only ingredient in the medicine.Please post references if you have them.I was thumbing through the CDL manual for my state (Washington)and it says some cold medicines are forbidden.
