A member asked:

I have acute bronchitis. after using albuterol and symbicort, (budesonide and formoterol) bromfed and fluticasone nasal spray i am feeling a bit better. can i drink alcohol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can: the alcohol will not interact with those medications but the best advice if you are sick is to stay well hydrated and get some rest to ensure a full and rapid recovery.
