Can Clonidine HCL Affect Blood Alcohol Reading In Blood Test?
I am currently on the following medications to treat high blood pressure and and am a pre-diabetic: 1)Metoprolol Tartr @ 25MG 2x day; 2) Clonidine HCL @ 0.2 MG 3x day; 3) Amlodipine Besylate @ 5 MG 1x day; 4) Hydralazine @ 50 MG 2x day; 5) Niaspan ER @ 500 MG 1x day. Is there anything about my medical condition(s) and/or medications that could affect a blood/alcahol reading in a blood test?
You are taking commonly used medicines to control blood pressure. They may cause fatigue, dry mouth and leg swelling but no change on a blood alcohol test.
