Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. It is advisable to avoid having alcohol in any form, even tough less in quantity while on steroids like methylprednisolone during the course of treatment. It carries a risk of causing dizziness, stomach ulcers and stomach bleeding. Hence, avoiding it totally seems to be the best option. You can have it in strict limits once the regimen is complete. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
