A 40-year-old female presents for examination. She admits to being diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) a year ago. She is prescribed dicyclomine 10mg capsules four times daily. She is maintaining the treatment, is tolerant to medication and her symptoms are well-controlled. Can this person be qualified as CMV driver, and why?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yes, she is tolerant to medication and the symptoms are adequately controlled.
This is the correct answer because the person is tolerant to the medication and the IBS symptoms are well-controlled. In addition, dicyclomine is not a habit-forming medication. Therefore, there is no reason to disqualify her. IBS symptoms may impair her ability to drive should they have not been well-controlled, but in this case she is qualified.
