Did you know drinking alcohol while taking certain over-the-counter or prescribed medications can cause serious harm? The effects of alcohol combined with some medications can be stronger than using either one on its own. Prevent accidental poisoning by asking your health care provider or pharmacist if there are harms of taking a certain medication while drinking alcohol. If you have questions about the safety of certain medications while drinking alcohol or are concerned you are experiencing symptoms from combining a medication with alcohol, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222.
