Can i consume beer while taking medrol dos pac for poison ivy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In moderation.: You may drink in moderation (i.e., 1-2 drinks per day) while taking Medrol. However, Medrol’s side effects include stomach irritation. Heavy drinking also irritates the stomach lining, so keeping your drinking light can help you to avoid stomach problems. At the first hint of stomach upset, give the drinking a rest for the rest of your DosePak therapy.
