Is it okay to drink at lunch and take statins at night

The behavior of patients taking statins after drinking increases the risk of liver injury in patients, so it is not acceptable for patients to drink at noon and take statins at night. First of all statins are mainly metabolized by the liver, and alcohol is also metabolized by the liver, so alcohol will affect the absorption of statins, thus reducing the therapeutic effect. In addition the combination of statins and alcohol will increase the risk of liver damage, thus affecting the patient’s health. Thus patients should limit alcohol consumption while taking statins and avoid taking statins for a short period of time after drinking, and in general, patients should take statins only one day after drinking. The use of specific drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor.
