A member asked:
What happens if i take different kinds of prescribed medication and drink beer over the weekend, can i overdose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: it sounds like a dangerous game, similar to Russian Roulette. There are several apps to help determine the potential interactions of different drugs. Many have very dangerous interactions, with possible death. Adding alcohol to that combination is very irresponsible, and potentially fatal.
