A member asked:
Is it ok to drink small amount of alcohol night before dexamethasone suppression test ?, does alcohol interfere with the test and pills i need to take
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: It seems you are taking sertraline, lorazepam, and promethazine - in this setting you may want to avoid alcohol altogether. Drinking a small amount of alcohol the night before the test is probably not going to interfere with the test, but it defeats the purpose of a test to have factors potentially interfere with the test, when they can easily be avoided.
