Have Broken Wrist. Prescribed To Take Omeprazol, Dexiibuprofene And Nolotil. Is It Okay To Have Alcohol?
Question: Hi. Daughter broke her wrist in Spain. Prescribed : omeprazol, dexiibuprofene and nolotil capsules. Is it ok to have alcohol or should she avoid? Anything we should look out for. She is there with group,of friends early twenties
Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Well your daughter had a wrist fracture for which she has been advised pain killers and antacid .
Alcohol does not have much interactions with these drugs but a word of caution exists as taking excess alcohol along with pain killers increases the risk of irritation to your stomach lining and may lead to bleeding .
But this risk is much greater for people already having other comorbidities like deranged LFT or with gastritis .
You should tell her to take alcohol in moderation and not get drunk.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
