Can you drink beer and take Chinese medicine?

It is generally not recommended to take proprietary Chinese medicines after drinking beer to avoid reactions causing discomfort or affecting the efficacy of the medicine. As proprietary Chinese medicines are usually composed of a variety of Chinese herbs, their composition is relatively complex. After drinking beer and then taking pCms, the alcohol in the beer may interact with one of the ingredients in the pCms and adversely affect the body, such as increasing the probability of alcohol and drug allergy, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or even poisoning. In addition, alcohol may also have an effect on the efficacy of the drug, so that the efficacy of the treatment is reduced and the therapeutic effect is not achieved. Therefore, it is not recommended to take pCms after drinking beer. If the patient must use the medicine, must first consult a professional doctor, do not blindly take by yourself, in order to avoid discomfort symptoms.
