HRT and DOT

[JustineM]

This might be a weird question, But does anyone know if the HRT meds would affect DOT certification?  I am required to maintain a DOT cert for my job and wanted to be sure.

Justine, I can't answer your question, but I'd be willing to bet that the DOT regulations would spell out which medications and/or medical conditions would affect the certification.  Since no HRT meds normally cause effects such as dizziness, blurred vision, driving impairment, etc, I would tend to doubt it.  You need to check it out online.

lol 'Lil poke here, prod there . . eyes ok? NO! I don't think they even noticed type of undies was wearing! What a joke they do test for illicit drugs but isn't HRT usually only "bio-identical"?

 

Have had a driver's med-card for years.

I doubt it will be an issue, but I figured I would at least ask. It will definitely be a question for the Dr when I have my appointment.
