Confused on the question

It's like asking:
Why do sleeping pills make me sleepy?

In case you try to drive after taking them they are protected because they warned you.

Some dumb people actually drive after taking sleeping pills.

Every possible side effect needs to be listed for the drug company to be 'covered' legally
even if the 'side effect' is what you are taking the pills for !
