Presumably, most people know that you can't drink alcohol after eating cephalosporin, but most people don't know why and what serious consequences it will bring to your body. When patients take cephalosporins and other antibiotics to fight infection, they should not drink alcohol during the treatment and within 7 days after stopping the drug. This is due to the dual effects of drugs and alcohol, ethanol poisoning reaction, also known as disulfiram reaction.

Except cephalosporins (especially ceftriaxone sodium, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, levofloxacin, cefmetazole, cefamandole, cefmenoxime, cefotiam, etc. ), the following drugs are also not allowed to drink.

1 antihypertensive drugs

During the period of taking antihypertensive drugs such as captopril, nifedipine, reserpine and Dibazole, drinking alcohol may cause vasodilation and lead to hypotensive shock, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

2 cold medicine

Most cold medicines contain acetaminophen (commonly known as paracetamol), which is mainly used to treat fever symptoms and relieve pain when catching a cold. However, acetaminophen will produce a toxic metabolite in the process of biotransformation in vivo, which needs to be combined with protective factors such as reduced glutathione in vivo to reduce toxicity.

Excessive drinking will consume a lot of glutathione in the body, so that the metabolites produced by acetaminophen can not be combined with glutathione, which increases the risk of liver failure.

Such as aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetamol and diclofenac sodium.

Three hypoglycemic agents

Alcohol can inhibit the absorption of glycogen. Drinking alcohol after taking hypoglycemic drugs can lead to a rapid drop in blood sugar and cause hypoglycemia. In severe cases, hypoglycemia coma and even death will occur. At the same time, the combination of biguanides and alcohol can also cause lactic acidosis, ranging from nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dizziness and lethargy to general weakness, hypothermia, disturbance of consciousness, deep coma or shock.

Such as glibenclamide and metformin.

Four kinds of drugs for insomnia

After taking sleeping pills, the nerves of the body and the cells of the brain will have some inhibitory effects, thus achieving the hypnotic effect. At the same time, alcohol also has a certain inhibitory effect on brain nerves, so if you drink alcohol after taking sleeping pills, it is easy to have difficulty breathing, and you will fall asleep after taking sleeping pills, so it is difficult to find out the specific situation of patients in your sleep. Therefore, if there is a serious situation, coupled with improper treatment, it is likely to cause the patient to stop breathing and endanger the life, health and safety of the patient.

Such as phenobarbital, chloral hydrate, diazepam, librium, etc.

Five anti-angina drugs

Isosorbide nitrate, nitroglycerin, nifedipine, anti-angina drugs, if drinking alcohol during medication, can cause excessive vasodilation, leading to severe headache, sudden drop in blood pressure, and even shock.

6 antiallergic drugs

Anti-allergic drugs such as chlorphenamine maleate (commonly known as chlorphenamine maleate), diphenhydramine, cyproheptadine, etc. can cause drowsiness, trance and coma when taken with wine.

Therefore, alcohol should be avoided during taking the first generation of antihistamines, otherwise the risk of adverse reactions will increase significantly. In addition, it is not suitable for people who need high concentration, such as driving a car and working high above the ground.

Antiepileptic drugs

Long-term drinking can reduce the concentration and efficacy of antiepileptic drugs (such as phenytoin sodium). If you drink alcohol at the same time or shortly after taking the medicine, the efficacy will soon be lost, which will greatly reduce the efficacy and lead to uncontrollable seizures.

8 paracetamol tablets

Acetaminophen tablets are used to reduce the fever of most cold medicines, and are also commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain (such as joint pain and migraine). Studies have shown that drinking alcohol may increase the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen.

Therefore, in daily life, everyone should pay attention to some health care and conditioning in life. Wine is also a double-edged sword. Excessive drinking is good for your health. In addition, we must pay attention to these "combinations" with drug risks.
