What Are The Side Effects Of Consuming Alcohol While Taking Medication For Migraine?
My hubby had a severe migraine attack last week.. its the first time that happened to him.. he has been asked to take ZOFER MD 4, KETANOV, SIBELIUM 10 mg and GABANTIN 100 . In addition to this he has been asked to take STILNOCT 6.25 mg for his sleeping problems. The problem now is that although i make sure he takes all his pills on time, I am very scared to do so coz he is alcoholic. During his migraine attack period, he had stopped drinking completely. But after the doctor told him what the diagnosis was and that he should stop alcohol completely, he started having a coupla drinks a day. I am really worried about the effects of mixing alcohol with these drugs. Please help me out with this..
