Can you take medicine after drinking?

You can’t take medicine after drinking. After drinking, it is easy to make the body capillaries dilate and blood circulation accelerate. If you take drugs, it will aggravate the toxic side effects of the drugs and easily cause damage to the body, especially cephalosporins, which are easy to cause disulfiram-like reactions after drinking, and can even cause life-threatening in serious cases. Moreover, if you take drugs after drinking alcohol, the drugs will aggravate the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. If you need to take drugs, it is recommended to wait for 24 hours after drinking alcohol and wait for the alcohol to be completely metabolized from the body before taking the drugs. However, for cephalosporins, it is generally better to take them one week after drinking alcohol to avoid adverse reactions. Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes need to stop smoking and drinking alcohol to avoid aggravating the condition and causing other complications.
