My friend takes meds for his seizures and also drinks while on meds he is also fat on his stomach is this dangerous ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol is: contraindicated with at least some anti-seizure medications. He can speak with his physician or pharmacist to see if the specific medication he takes is safe to use with alcohol. If seizures are not well controlled - use of alcohol can also be problematic. His physician can advise him on this too.
