You also shouldn't mix alcohol with most medications.
Alcohol can interact with a wide range of medications including prescription drugs, over-the-counter remedies and even herbal supplements.
Just one drink can change how your medication works. It could make it less effective, increase side effects, or even cause serious health risks.
These are just some of the medications that react with alcohol:
👉 antidepressants
👉 antipsychotics
👉 benzodiazepines
👉 sleeping tablets
👉 antihistamines
👉 cold and flu medicines
👉 certain antibiotics.
Mixing alcohol with any of these can lead to dangerous outcomes like slowed breathing, extreme sedation, or even coma and death. ⚠
Always read your medication labels for alcohol warnings. If you’re unsure, be honest and ask your doctor or pharmacist before you drink.
Remember, every person reacts differently to drugs and medications.
If you or a loved one need support with alcohol, Adis 24/7 Alcohol and Drug Support are available for free and confidential support. Call them on 1800 177 833 or chat online on their website.
