can you drink alcohol while on warifin for blood clots????

1.  Intermediate use (2-3 drinks per day) probably does not alter the INR at all.\n   2. Intermittent large amount of alcohol drinking leads to an increase in INR, because the alcohol interferes with warfarin metabolism, i.e. warfarin is metabolized less rapidly.\n   3. Chronic heavy alcohol intake results in a decreased INR, because the alcohol actually increases the metabolism of warfarin. \n\n\nfrom the doc writing the article:\nI typically tell patients on warfarin (coumadin®) who drink mild to moderate amounts of alcohol (1-2 glasses of wine or 1-2 beers per day), that such alcohol intake is likely o.k. from a clotting and bleeding point of view.

NO. THAT'S WRONG. Drinking 1 ounce of red wine can keep heart problems away because of its phytochemical (antioxidants, taninos). But this doesn't apply to any other liquor or alcohol. So forget about beers, whiskey, tequila, etc. They will only make you gain fat.

Tylenol and alcohol are bad on your liver.  Best to wait the next morning to take Excedrin.  Drink plenty of fluids, especially room temperature Gatorade, as it restores the dehydration from the alcohol, plus it restores the electrolytes.  The reason for it being room temp is that anything ice cold can make you sick to your stomach.  Eat a light meal, but drink loads of Gatorade.  Good Luck!!  I feel for you as I have been down that path before, lol.  Not sure about aspirin and alcohol... Try going to www.webmd as that is a great site for medical questions.

I would definitely recommend that you refer this question to your psychiatrist/doctor.  I'm on risperdal, which is one you're not supposed to drink on, but I talked it over with my psychiatrist.  He said I could have up to 3 drinks a week, which is great by me.  I only drink wine.  \n\nA few beers in one night might be a little much, and there is that risk of seizures with Wellbutrin.  Drinking basically affects your psych meds two ways.  Both alcohol and the med work on the Central Nervous System, and there is chance for interaction, there.  Plus, alcohol induces the liver to create more enzymes, which will metabolize the drug and make less of the drug available in circulation.

haven't found a cure, but watch out that stuff it kills your liver, get off now and get proactive.  it works great.  DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL OR GET PREGNANT WHILE ON IT!!! if you drink watch out it will make you sick as a dog.  if you are planning on getting pregnant in the next year to year and a half get off it now or you will have a messed up baby.  if your doctor did not put you on birth control get on it now as well.  about the drinking my doctor told me that acutane and drinking will litterally kill you so just be carful in everything you do while on it.  and remember after a while you will become immune to it.  if you are in your twenties or younger you will grow out of it. keep your stress level down and do everything that triggers acne to a minimum.  try to excercise more and drink your water and you will be alright.  soaps to use ivory if you have oily skin, proactive system, if you can't afford that loreal pure zone is a great over the counter system. it contains soap, astringent, and the lotion use it all on a regular basis and you will see a difference in a week or so.  but as far as acutane (from experince) i would get off it.

there is no rule that says you are not allowed to drink in the military. Why did you have one anyway, knowing you would have a blood test????? :(, yeah it stays in your system until your liver breaks it down and flushes it out. drink heaps of water, should be gone by then . Good luck silly billy.

Gen. 9:4 says: "Only flesh with its soul--its blood--you must not eat." \n\nOdindmar says: "Getting a blood transfusion is not eating. It is injected into your system in order to save your life. Not an act against God's will." This is not true. In a hospital, when a patient cannot eat through his mouth, he is fed intravenously. Now, would a person who never put blood into his mouth but who accepted blood by transfusion really be obeying the command to "keep abstaining froom...blood? (Acts 15:29) To use a comparison, consider a man who is told by the doctor that he must abstain from alcohol. Would he be obedient if he quit drinking alcohol but had it put directly in his veins?

A glass of red wine a day is said to be good for the heart, and blood. Beer will just make you fat!

I've donated plasma about 100+ times so I believe it's perfectly safe. Only stopped for medical reasons not related to my blood. Had been donating every fortnight for quite a period.\n\nBecause the blood volume is reduced it takes less to get drunk afterwards. Also your body is trying to replace the plasma without the stress of handling the alcohol.

Aspirin can be used to prevent complications caused by having chronic high blood pressure, so it is completely normal to be on this medication.  \n\nYou should also talk to your doctor about decreasing your dose, it sounds like you are having side effects from too high of levels of the aspirin (gastric irritation AKA diarrhea and bleeding).  Drinking a lot of alchol can also increase bleeding, so be careful if you are doing that.\n\nAlso, make sure you are taking the aspirin as the doctor prescribed, not too much or too often.

I am on Lexapro and my doctor told me it was not a good idea.  It can allready make you drowsy and unaware.  Just think if you drink.

Do not drink alcohol along with your prescriptions... It can cause major side effects, it can also neutralize the effects of the prozac, so it doesn't work properly.. You should consult your psychiatrist, so he/she can explain how alocohol can contribute to major side effects and also neutralize the response of the prozac medication.. But my advice, which by the way, is the best advice, do not mix alcohol with prescriptions..

Not a good idea. Alcohol dehydrates you and if you have some kind of infection that you need antibiotics for, you need as much fluids as you can get. Hold off on the alcohol til you feel better.
