A member asked:

Can i safely take phenergan (promethazine) several hours after drinking (like enough to get mildly drunk)? i know there is an alcohol interaction...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't mix 2 sedative: The biggest side effect of phenergan (promethazine) is sedation (sleepiness), which will add to the effects of alcohol. I do NOT recommend taking phenergan (promethazine) until you are completely sober after drinking alcohol.
