What Are The Protections And Remedy Of Psoriatic Arthritis ?

My doctor is recommending that I go on Sulfasalazine for my Psoriatic Arthritis however I am a heavy weekend drinker(Friday & saturday nights) & am not too sure if I can change my lifestyle to reduce/eliminate alcohol. What happens if I take the medication & continue drinking or don t take the medication & worry about the effects later on(knee replacement ??) Or what other options do I have ??

Hi since you are suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis you have been prescribed sulfasalazine for the same. This drug may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol so better to avoid it with alcohol.
