Q: is it safe to have one shot of toreador while on eliquis, lexapro & prednisone? the doc. knows the meds i'm on, i'm just wanting to be extra sure?

: Expect a transient spike in blood sugar as the beverage contains sugar syrup. Alcohol content may lower or raise blood sugar. Prednisone raises blood sugar. Eliquis &amp; lexapro shouldn't be affected by one shot. One shot only? Since you're not a brittle diabetic, it shouldn't be a problem.
