Health Tip: Don’t Mix Meds and Alcohol
By LadyLively on March 25, 2015
The effects of alcohol can change as you age, causing problems when combined with some medications.
The Cleveland Clinic mentions these examples:
- Combining alcohol with aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding in the stomach or intestines.
- Antihistamines taken for allergies can make you quite drowsy if combined with alcohol.
- Drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) can damage the liver.
- Drinking alcohol while taking medications that already contain alcohol, such as laxatives or cough syrups, increases the alcohol in your system.
- Alcohol should never be taken with anxiety/depression drugs or sleep medication. The consequences could be deadly.
