7 types of drugs can not drink alcohol after eating

Just saw a popular science article: there are 7 types of drugs can not drink alcohol after eating, excerpts issued for the netizens reference.

The first category is cephalosporin antibiotics, dysentery, chloramphenicol, furantoin, metronidazole, etc.; consumption of alcohol after taking these drugs orally, resulting in the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body to produce toxic reactions. The main manifestations are chest tightness, shortness of breath, laryngeal edema, cyanosis of the lips, dyspnea, increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, hallucinations, trance, and even anaphylactic shock, so severe as to cause respiratory depression, heart failure and even death. This one is known more people.

The second category is sedative-hypnotic drugs, such as phenobarbital, chloral hydrate, Valium, Librium, these brain depressants, under the action of ethanol, will be absorbed by the body to accelerate, but also slow down its metabolic rate, so that the concentration of drug components in the bloodstream in a short period of time rapidly increased and thus fatal.

The third category is the class of antipyretic analgesics, such as aspirin, paracetamol, etc.. These drugs themselves have a stimulating and damaging effect on the gastric mucosa, and alcohol also hurts the stomach, both of which can lead to gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastric bleeding, etc.

The fourth category is antihypertensive drugs, such as rifampin, anti-cancer agents, “isoniazid” (anti-tuberculosis drugs), captopril, nifedipine, these antihypertensive drugs, if drinking alcohol, may cause vasodilation, hypotension, and even shock, life-threatening.

The fifth category is hypoglycemic drugs, during the injection of insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, it is easy to have a hypoglycemic reaction. For example, panic, sweating, fatigue and weakness, or even irritability, confusion and multilingualism. These symptoms are often masked by the intoxication reaction and are not easily distinguished from intoxication. This results in patients often being oblivious even when severe and persistent hypoglycemia occurs, and eventually hypoglycemic shock occurs. If left untreated, this may lead to irreversible damage to brain tissue and even cause death.

The sixth category is antidepressants. Both antidepressants and alcohol consumption slow down the rhythm of the central nervous system, affecting the brain’s function and thinking ability and weakening alertness. The combination of the two can make people feel sleepy, reduce their judgment, physical coordination and reaction time, and even cause symptoms of depression to worsen.

The seventh category is the treatment of arthritis drugs, such as Cilazol, naproxen, Fotarol, etc.. These drugs can cause ulcers, stomach bleeding, liver damage and other side effects when taken in combination with alcohol. When taking Cilpro, you should not drink alcohol, especially since the drugs already cause a higher risk of cardiovascular side effects, such as heart attack and stroke, and alcohol increases this risk.
