Medicine and alcohol?!?!


Question: Medicine and alcohol.?!.?
I've been sick the past few weeks and last night I finally took Robitussin. Not thinking..I drank a few beers also last night right after I took the medicine. Im sure it probably wasnt a good idea to mix the two but like I said I didnt think anything of it since I never take medicine for colds. Anyway I had trouble sleeping last night and I got really hot and started to feel nauseous. Today I feel even worse.. light-headed, dizzy, and still nauseous, but not feverish. I was wondering when this feeling will wear off and what should I do until then.? Should I make myself vomit.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Chances are, it's your illness producing the symptoms, and not the Robitussin with the beer chasers. Make yourself some peppermint tea to help the nausea, and go to bed.Health Question & Answer

Nah, the alcohol is probably metabolized by now, as is the medicine.

Alcohol doesn't mix with most medicines, especially prescription, but even over the counter. But in this case, I doubt you did any harm.

You'll be fine, and you've learned an important lesson.Health Question & Answer
