Question 1

can i drink alcohol while on anti inflammatory drugs?

Accepted Answer

Not wise: You can but stomach and bleeding issues are more likely.

Question 2

i am being treated for pelvic inflammatory disease and am taking doxycycl hyc 100mg twice a day for 10 days. can i drink alcohol while being treated?

Accepted Answer

It should be OK: I don't think alcohol would interfere or affect the metabolism of your antibiotics.
To be safe, drink alcohol 1-2 hours apart from your antibiotics.

Question 3

i am currently on an anti inflammatory antipyretic non steroidal medicine along with profinal for extra pain, is it okay to drink alcohol ?

Accepted Answer

No: That combination of alcohol with those meds creates increased risk, especially for ulcers and bleeds.

Question 4

why can't i drink alcohol  when i take the drug gemfibrozil?

Accepted Answer

Liver, triglycerides: If you are taking gemfibrozil, it's to lower triglycerides.  Alcohol increases triglycerides.  In addition, both Gemfibrozil and alcohol can adversely affect the liver.

Question 5

i took a 0.5mg dosage of ativan (lorazepam) can i drink alcohol 10 hours after the drug was taken? or will it harm me?

Accepted Answer

No guarantees: Is a small dose, however about 1/2 of the medication is still in your system so you should be careful how much you drink and definitely do not drive.

Question 6

can i drink alcohol on 72mg of concerta. i take it in the morning around 8:30am. is it safe to drink around 6pm, as the drug has worn off by then?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The safety of your drinking can be considered separately from the Concerta use. The drug is essentially gone so there will not be any interaction. However, safety of consumption depends on several factors: local law (you are not legal in many states at 19),situation (driving or not),amount consumed. If these are not a problem, ignore the med and do what you want.

Question 7

can i drink alcohol with these drugs i'm taking? propranolol, carbimazole, piriton allergy tablets and morphine.

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: With all those drugs i would minimize alcohol intake.

Question 8

can i drink alcohol if i took l lysine ?

Accepted Answer

: It's not possible to predict what people may experience side effects from ingesting both of these compounds but side effects have been described depending upon the doses or amount of the substances.   I'm not a fan of supplements like l lysine as benefits from taking them are not proven. Your pharmacist will have more information about mixing l lysine &amp; alcohol.

Question 9

hello hi ive got treated for a std wensday and was wondering could i drink alcohol today since its been more than 24hr?

Accepted Answer

: You are infected with an extremely nasty disease, that can permanently damage you for life. You have to control your addiction at this time. It is not recommended to consume alcohol while being treated for a sexually transmitted disease as it may interfere with the effectiveness of the medication and prolong the healing process.

Question 10

when i drink alcohol my penis feels a tingle or warm feeling within a few minutes then goes away, whys that? it has always been like this but i want to know?

Accepted Answer

: Drinking alcohol can cause opening up of blood vessels (vasodilation) Why it occurs just in your penis is difficult to explain. Since it seems harmless I would suggest don't worry about it.
