Should be.: Although it's not recommended to drink alcohol while taking these medications people do and are usually fine . We tell patients not to drink on these medications as it can make you very susceptible to the effects of the alcohol and can cause potential for medication side effects. Please see your doctor to have further discussion . Be well.
