Sleeping pills should not be taken after drinking alcohol. After a large amount of alcohol is taken into the body, it will have a certain inhibitory effect on the functional activities of the cerebral cortex, leading to drowsiness and other problems, while sleeping pills mainly inhibit the functional activities of the cerebral cortex and play a sedative and hypnotic role. This can affect the patient’s life and health, and in serious cases may lead to a coma, so it is not recommended to take sleeping pills after drinking alcohol. If the patient is a small amount of alcohol consumption, for the cortical function activity has a first excitation and then inhibition, it is not recommended to eat sleeping pills, clinically used sleeping pills, like diazepam, clonazepam, lorazepam, eszopiclone will have a certain inhibition of breathing, so you can not eat together.
