Medication and Alcohol Interactions

Marijuana. Marijuana is the most commonly used drug among teens today. Always has been and probably always will be. Marijuana is the "gateway drug." Marijuana leads to other drug usage, which is why it can be such a risk. Teens that use Marijuana are 99% more likely to use and try other drugs than a teen than has not tried Marijuana.

Alcohol affects liver function all by itself. Prednisone and alcohol can cause liver and pancreatic damage, as can prednisone alone.

well idk when it is safe. but the other day my friend took a vicodin while drinking. and kept drinking after wards, not much but a few beers, with a shot of hennessy and redbull, and he wus behaving hyper, his pupils got big but he was okay. he only took the vicodin once its not like its perscribe to him. but later at night, his energy gone done and felt sleepy..... it almost seem as if it were a side affect of a energy drink, first full of energy then tired later.

why.......? no one answer

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) affects many areas of the brain.

However, the most pronounced impact is found in the cerebrum, hippocampus, and cerebellum.

Ethanol affects the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) neurotransmitter system, binding to GABA-A and GABA-B receptors, and increasing their ability to hyperpolarize neuronal cell membranes. So, it inhibits (slows, reduces) brain activity.

When this happens in the cerebral cortex, higher thought is slowed or inhibited.

In the hippocampus (where a large number of GABA receptors exist), memory storage is impaired.

In the cerebellum (also containing large numbers of GABA receptors to allow for fine-tuning of activities related to coordination), coordination is impaired.

caffeine, works great

Combining drugs and alcohol can worsen the disease. One should not drink alcohol while taking Fosfomycin Trometamol. While taking any drugs, staying away from alcohol is the best.

Alcohol will increase the central nervous system depressant effects of diazepam. You will become overly sedated. A small amount of diazepam and alcohol probably wont kill you, let's say 1 glass of beer and 5 mg of diazepam. But drinking alcohol and diazepam is not a wise thing to do and can be dangerous.

no try to aviod it

Most antibiotics do not adversely react with alcohol. This is actually an old wives tail dating back to WWII when penicillin was heavily used but in short supply. Soldiers were told that they couldn't drink on the antibiotics in an attempt to keep them sober so that they wouldn't become inebriated and have intercourse with prostitutes, thus catching venereal diseases that would require antibiotic therapy.

However, there are a few antibiotics that do have a true reaction with alcohol. For example, Metronidazole inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase thus interfering with alcohol metabolism. These patients will have side effects if alcohol is consumed while the patient is taking the drug and thus, the patient should be instructed to abstain from alcohol use for the duration of the prescription.

Oddly enough, I had problem with getting sick in the morning. I would get nauseous and vomit. It happened at least 3 times a week. All side effects stopped as soon as I stopped taking the drug.

Chronic systemic users of TCH higher then 12 Percent are

going to find it difficult. However with discipline and

consistent effort. You can get beyond it. It is like any

other chemical dependence.

Yes, it slows the way you think and react way down hence altering your way of thinking.

Cjonb and I have spent the last two days researching this. The results are as follows:This mixture may cause seizures...What apparently happened was that this problem was not noted in clinical trials of the drug, but was later reported in the field after the drug was approved. And so the labels were changed.A little background is necessary:* Tramadol itself can cause seizures, especially if the patient is overdosing* Trycyclic antidepressants are pretty extreme, as they have some nasty side effects. They're not quite the drug of last resort, but they're getting there.* If someone on tricyclics and tramadol seizes, it's very hard to identify the exact process that caused the seizure -- maybe the tramadol; maybe the psyche med; whoknows?* The Cyclobenzaprine molecule, like quite a few other compounds, has three rings in attached to a central structure, as do tricyclics. This alone would usually not be enough to counterindicate -- but in this oddball case, it is, or should have been.* These two meds were often prescribed together, and even today, probably still are.* The seizure risk, while extant, is not extreme.* Taking any drug means you're accepting a desired effect, and a few undesired ones. It's pretty much never purely all benefit. Tramadol is like this.

yes u can

you can't buy alcohol when you are under-aged. unless you are out of the United States. .....or possibly a fake I.D. but that's bad especially if you get caught.

If by alcohol you are referring to rubbing alcohol, yes it can render the H1N1 virus inactive ("killed") IF used properly. That means washing a surface area (or your hands) with soap and water or other cleaning solution FIRST. Then briskly wipe down the area with the rubbing alcohol. Keep in mind alcohol works better on bacteria than viruses, and that you must wait until the alcohol has evaporated before an area can be considered "germ free". Also, the recommended waterless gel hand sanitizers contain about 60-65% alcohol. It is best to wash your hands FIRST, but if unable to, the hand sanitizers are effective, but be sure to use a good glob of it, really COAT your hands, paying attention to the tops as well as the nail beds, and not consider your hands "safe" until it has evaporated from the friction of rubbing your hands together briskly long enough for them to feel dry. Friction and the rubbing action are important to physically remove the virus, it is not simply a chemical action that works to remove or render the virus inactive.

Don't try piercing it yourself. Get a professional to pierce it for you. I've added a picture for you to look at, sorry it's blurry, it's basically a woman who tried to pierce her own tongue. Don't wan't to EPIC fail? Get it done proffesionally!

While it is true that there is no adverse reaction, as stated below, the diuretic effect of the alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotic by clearing it from the body too rapidly. Drinking with antibiotics is not recommended.

Dr. Alan Galbraith says:

"There is no reason whatsoever that alcohol cannot be drunk while on amoxycillin or for most antibiotics. I do not know where this urban myth came from but it is very widespread even amongst some of the medical profession. There is only one group of commonly used drugs which are antibiotics in the wider sense of this term that may cause unpleasant adverse effects when taken with alcohol. These are the imidazoles, of which metronidazole (Flagyl) is the commonest in use."

It depends what kind of pills but most pills prescribed by a doctor such as pain pills taken with alcohal can seriusly hurt you or maybe even kill you.The best way to find out is to ask your doctor or pharmasist or read the bottle for some kinds of pills. If you are talking pills usually it will say on the bottle not to take alcohol with them. If it doesn't have a warning on the bottle you should be okay.

Can you drink alcohol while taking tikosyn
