Medication?

Question: I take metformin for pcos (not diabetes) on the slip the slip it says you that its best not to drink alcohol, but i want to know if i can drink any and how much.

Answers:
Usually when a medication says "do not take with alcohol" it gives that warning because the medication can make the effects of alcohol more profound, making it more difficult to function. If you *must* drink, try to keep it at one or two drinks for the entire evening.

It isn´t true that by drnking with some medication, you can be druged or something, the only thing that happens is that teh medication efectiveness is none, it menas it doens´t work in your body due to alochol.

Good Luck! ;D

i have to be honest and say I generally don't warn patients about this and have never seen anyone get into trouble. It mainly refers to the risk to diabetics who are actually intoxicated. I would cautiously suggest that moderate amounts of alcohol are unlikely to be an issue.

I agree with Tiff, one to two drinks tops.

you NEVER drink with medication

I drink a glass of wine now and then but have never drank heavily on Metformin.
