Question 2

is it ok to drink wine while taking meloxicam?

Accepted Answer

The risk is gastrit: Meloxicam by itself can cause gastritis and ulcers. The combination with alcohol can increase this risk.

Question 3

can you drink wine while taking diflucan (fluconazole)?

Accepted Answer

How much wine??: I am always leery of these questions. People for whom drinking alcohol in some form is so important that when they are placed on a medication or are having a procedure they want to know if it's ok with alcohol.  Not saying there IS a problem, but saying you should at least think about it. 1-2 glasses of wine will not interfere with diflucan (fluconazole) and there are no interactions. Wouldn't recommend more.

Question 4

hi, do you think i can drink wine while taking ciprofloxacin?

Accepted Answer

I discourage it: Alcohol is not a good drug when you are treating an infection.  Also, I believe that when people ask questions about "can I drink beer" or "can I have wine" I don't think they are talking about 1-2 social drinks. Alcohol interferes with white blood cells working, slows healing and has many drug interactions. The doctor who prescribed it or pharmacist who filled it is who you should talk to.

Question 5

can i drink wine while i am taking ciprofloxacin? if so how many hours apart?

Accepted Answer

Don't: I could not find an FDA prohibition of drinking and using this medication, but I would suggest you do not or at least consult your doctor before doing so.

Question 6

can u drink wine while taking advair twice a day?  what would the side effects be?

Accepted Answer

Wine ok: There should be no interaction between ingestion of alcoholic beverages and the effectiveness of medications like advair.  Enjoy in moderation!

Question 7

is it possible for you to drink wine while taking an anti-inflamatory?

Accepted Answer

Depends on how much: if you are talking a glass or two, as long as you have no history of peptic ulcers, gastritis or heartburn, there is little likelihood that that amount of alcohol and an NSAID are going to cause problems.  However, larger amounts of alcohol can increase the chance of gastritis and gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as reflux and heartburn.

Question 8

can i drink wine when i'm preganant?

Accepted Answer

Not advised: I would not advise any alcoholic drinks while someone is pregnant.

Question 9

can i drink wine while taking daflon?

Accepted Answer

Daflon: Daflon is a flavonoid which has some anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. When consumed with low to moderate amounts of wine, there should be no problems. If you are still concerned, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider.
