Brief Answer:
Risky to use alcohol while on metformin (glcomet).

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

I have gone through your query. There is adverse interaction of alcohol with glycomet. You can get hypoglycemic attack which can leads to death. Another adverse effect is lactic acidosis.

So it is better to avoid alcohol while taking Glycomet.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
