Can you still drink alcohol while on avonex (interferon beta 1a)?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: There is no major interaction between a weak interferon and alcohol, but would avoid getting intoxicated, as any current or prior incoordination would get temporarily worse and expose you to injury. An occasional glass of wine or bottle of beer is fine, but is it legal at 18 where you are? As an aside, your medicine does not work very well for ms, and a lot better choices are available.
