A member asked:

What to do if i have just been put on lovenox (enoxaparin) for a blood clot. can i drink alcohol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO!!!!!!!!: Alcohol can enhance the effects of any anticoagulant drug, and can increase the chance of dangerous and even life-threatening bleeding. The person to ask these questions of is your doctor, who needs to know about your drinking history in order to treat you safely and effectively, and your pharmacist who is dispensing your medications. If you have an alcohol problem, get help for it.
