On the occasion of the Spring Festival, everyone will inevitably drink and talk when they get together, but Zhang Mengmeng, the second cardiologist of Peking University Medical Luzhong Hospital, reminded that you should not drink alcohol after taking the following drugs.
Antimicrobials: (cephalosporins, etc.).
Most cephalosporins contain a methiotetrazolium group with a chemical structure that mimics disulfiram, which may cause a disulfiram-like reaction if alcohol is consumed before or after taking the drug. If you drink alcohol after taking the drug, you may have facial flushing, conjunctival hyperemia, blurred vision, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, convulsions, etc., which can be relieved by yourself in mild cases, and in more severe cases, you need to be sent to the hospital for symptoms**. In particular, cephalosporins should not be used within 3 days after drinking.
Acetaminophen tablets:
Acetaminophen is an ingredient used in most cold medicines to reduce fever, and it is also commonly used to relieve joint pain and migraines. Studies have shown that alcohol consumption may increase acetaminophen liver toxicity.
Antihypertensive drugs: Excessive alcohol consumption has the effect of dilating blood vessels, causing sympathetic nerve excitation, inhibiting the vascular motor center, and weakening myocardial contractility. If you take blood pressure medication before and after drinking, the small blood vessels will dilate more, blood pressure will drop suddenly, and you will be prone to hypotension or fainting.
Aspirin: Aspirin can inhibit the activity of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in the process of alcohol metabolism, slowing down alcohol metabolism, which makes alcohol poisoning more susceptible. Concomitant alcohol consumption increases the risk of gastric mucosal and liver damage, as well as the risk of aspirin-induced upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Sedative-hypnotic drugs:
The combination of sedative-hypnotic drugs and alcohol can have dangerous consequences, because alcohol can aggravate the sedative effect of sleeping pills, have an inhibitory effect on brain activity, and can cause severe drowsiness and dizziness. If the user is active, it also increases the risk of falls and injuries. Heavy alcohol consumption while taking sleeping pills can lower blood pressure to very low levels and cause difficulty breathing.
Antihyperglycemic drugs: Alcohol stimulates insulin secretion, and if you drink alcohol on an empty stomach during insulin injection or oral hypoglycemic drugs, you are prone to hypoglycemic reaction.
