Not only cephalosporin but taking these drugs and drinking alcohol can also be fatal!

Many drugs can react adversely with alcohol, so strictly speaking, as long as you take drugs, try not to drink alcohol, for example, cephalosporins, if you take such drugs and then drink alcohol, it will trigger a "disulfiram-like reaction", which prevents the metabolism of acetaldehyde and thus causes the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, ultimately resulting in a fatal This can lead to a fatal poisoning reaction. Therefore, for certain powerful drugs, alcohol should not be consumed even within two or three days after stopping the drug.

Then, in addition to the well-known cephalosporin, what other drugs will have a fatal reaction to alcohol?

A. Non-steroidal drugs for arthritis

Celecoxib capsules are anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, mainly used for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, various osteoarthritis, fasciitis, and other diseases. This type of drug has a certain stimulating effect on the stomach, and alcohol intake into the body will harm the gastric mucosal barrier and constantly aggravate the damage to the gastric mucosa, in addition to which the submucosal blood vessels will also be damaged to some extent. In the long run, gastric bleeding, gastric ulcers, and in serious cases, heart disease and stroke will occur in patients. In addition to celecoxib, drugs similar to this are naproxen, meloxicam, etc., when taking alcohol is strictly prohibited.

Second, hypoglycemic drugs class drugs

It is believed that many sugar lovers like to drink, and even some of them disregard diabetes to drink a glass, but it is worth noting that alcohol will stimulate the secretion of insulin, if just after taking hypoglycemic drugs, in the case of stable blood sugar and then drink alcohol, it will lead to further increase in insulin secretion, which will certainly cause hypoglycemia, coupled with the phenomenon of alcohol intoxication, it is easy to ignore the symptoms of hypoglycemia and cause danger. So diabetics themselves should not drink alcohol, and after taking hypoglycemic drugs this wine is not even touched!

Because even different types of hypoglycemic drugs can react with alcohol in a harmful way and seriously endanger the health of diabetics. For example, patients injecting insulin or taking sulfonylurea promoters, and then drinking alcohol will very easy to trigger hypoglycemia; if you are taking metformin such hypoglycemic drugs and alcohol mixed will increase the risk of lactic acidosis; plus alcohol itself is damaging to the liver, if diabetic patients drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, it will aggravate the situation of liver damage, and even induce ketosis.

Third, sedative-hypnotic drugs

In life, often insomnia will help sleep by taking sleeping pills, many people feel that a glass of wine before bed can also help sleep, we need to pay attention to it because these two can promote sleep if put together, it can be a deadly danger! Common clinical sleep aid drugs are diazepam, lorazepam, etc. These drugs are brain depressants, if taken after drinking alcohol will increase the role of sedation, some of the ingredients in the drug will even conflict with alcohol, which can cause damage to the patient's nerve tissue, and in serious cases, may also inhibit breathing, endangering the patient's life.

Some data show that the lethal blood concentration of alcohol and Valium alone is 500-800 mg and 10-29 mg, but the lethal blood concentration of the two together is as low as 100 mg and 0.5 mg, so it is easy to take Valium sedatives after drinking alcohol. In addition to diazepam, other benzodiazepine sedative sleeping drugs such as lorazepam, oxazepam, clonazepam, etc., also need to avoid alcohol when taken.

Fourth, antihypertensive drugs

Friends who are taking antihypertensive drugs need to pay attention and try not to drink during the medication, especially red wine. Because alcohol will make the blood vessels dilate, itself can lead to a drop in blood pressure, if on top of this and then take antihypertensive drugs, will make the blood pressure even lower, there will be cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and even important organs insufficient blood supply, serious life-threatening situation.

Finally, I would also like to remind all alcoholics, even though "a drunkenness to solve a thousand sorrows", if you want to drink alcohol during the medication to hurt your body, it is not "a glass of sorrow more sorrow"? So we must be extra vigilant about our eating habits during medication, try not to drink alcohol, eat more light food, develop good habits, have a good body, and why use alcohol to kill sorrow.
