* warfarin * alcohol (ethanol) ---- 1 Interaction found:
* warfarin and ethanol (Moderate Drug-Drug) PROBLEM: Enhanced hypoprothrombinemic response to warfarin has been reported in patients with acute alcohol intoxication and/or liver disease. The proposed mechanisms are inhibition of warfarin metabolism and decreased synthesis of clotting factors. Binge drinking may exacerbate liver impairment and its metabolic ability in patients with liver dysfunction. The risk of bleeding may be increased. Conversely, reductions in INR/PT have also been reported in chronic alcoholics with liver disease. The proposed mechanism is that continual drinking of large amounts of alcohol induces the hepatic metabolism of anticoagulants. Effects are highly variable and significant INR/PT fluctuations are possible.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Patients taking oral anticoagulants should be counseled to avoid large amounts of ethanol, but moderate consumption (one to two drinks per day) are not likely to affect the response to the anticoagulant in patients with normal liver function. Frequent INR/PT monitoring is recommended, especially if alcohol intake changes considerably. It may be advisable to avoid oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with uncontrollable drinking problems. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs of bleeding to their doctor, including pain, swelling, headache, dizziness, weakness, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual flow, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bleeding or bruising, red or brown urine, or red or black stools.

Can you drink alcohol while taking nitazoxanida?
Under no circumstances should you drink while under medication with nitazoxandia. Under no circumstances should you drink while under medication with nitazoxandia. alternative answer: In fact there is no indications of interaction of nitazoxanida ( I do not know nitazoxandia)with alcohol. It is not recommended to drink alcohol under medication with nitazoxanida even I do not know why. Medical literature is similar to the religious one: do that, do not do that, and do not ask why. However it is clear that nitazoxanida have not the disulfiram effect as other member of the family (nitroimidazols) which would be responsible of such statement as the initial answer to the question. If you are under medication with nitazoxanida please do not drink alcohol, but if you had a beer and look later the answer, do not panic, nothing will happen.
Can someone become a nurse if they have received treatment for alcohol or drug abuse?
As far as I know, being in the healthcare field, you can do the required schooling and testing but it would most likely be a waste of time. Alchohol abuse isn't a problem so much, but drug abuse, especially barbituates; percacets, hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc, will cause a problem in finding employment. Nurses who have a history of drug problems go on the Nurse Registry as being recovered addicts but still are considered a risk seeing as their past involves abuse of drugs they will readily have access to in a nursing environment. Some facilities may be willing to look past it. However, if you haven't been arrested or convicted on a drug charge, there should be no reason for the facility you are applying as a nurse for, needs to know you received treatment. That is the type of information that you can just keep to yourself if it was just a rehab center and not jail time. So basically, if you had drug charges, most likely no, you could not be hired as a nurse. But if it was a rehab on your own accord, then yes, as long as you keep it to yourself and don't feel the itch once you get near the drugs in the workplace.

Can you drink alcohol while taking antibiotics?
Although it is sensible to avoid drinking alcohol when taking any medication; it is unlikely that drinking alcohol, in moderation, will cause problems if you are taking most common antibiotics. However, alcohol in a quantity that will make you drunk depresses the immune system, and may inhibit recovery from the infection.
It is however, necessary to completely AVOID drinking when taking the following antibiotics: * metronidazole - the side-effects include flushing, breathlessness, headache, increased or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting. * tinidazole - which is chemically similar to metronidazole and so may cause the same reaction. When taking co-trimoxazole and alcohol, there is a very slight possibility of side effects that are similar to metronidazole. However these effects are very rare and drinking alcohol in moderation does not normally cause a problem. It should be noted that antibiotics may have a variety of side effects that might be made worse by alcohol, for example, sleepiness and dizziness. To be safe, you should really check with your doctor or pharmacist. In fact, the antibiotic will work even if alcohol is taken with it. Drinking alcohol with some antibiotics might cause very huge side effects (called "antabuse effect") and should be avoided. However, Ampicillin is quite a big antibiotic and given in big infections. I don't think you'll have "antabuse effect" if you drink alcohol, but you'll have some exacerbated side effects because of your infection and because of your antibiotics. You shouldn't but it's unlikely to kill you.
Alcohol is a depressant. I do not recommend drinking to excess when you are sick because it lowers your body's responses. A very small amount of alcohol in a "toddy" to help you get a bit of sleep is OK, but by "small amount" I mean less than the normal "shot" measurement.
