Is it possible to drink 2 - 3 beers once in a while (once every 2 weeks) during asertin therapy? Please answer honestly whether such small doses of alcohol can harm because you can probably have something from this life

To @Julka1234: Most likely, you will not feel any consequences. However, the manufacturer states: "The risk of withdrawal symptoms may depend on many factors, e.g. duration of treatment, dose size and rate of dose reduction. The most commonly reported symptoms are dizziness, sensory disturbances (including paraesthesia), sleep disturbances (including insomnia and intense sleeps), agitation or anxiety, nausea and/or vomiting, muscle tremors and headache. Typically, these symptoms are mild to moderate in severity, but may be severe in some patients. They usually occur within the first few days after stopping treatment, although very rarely they have also been reported in patients who accidentally missed a dose."
Hello, I would like to know what happens if on 1 day I forget to take asertin 50 tablets?

I send excerpts from the Summary of Product Characteristics of Asertin, in which the manufacturer provides information about the combination of this drug with alcohol: "CNS inhibitory drugs, alcohol Administration of sertraline at a dose of 200 mg per day to healthy people did not increase the effect of alcohol, carbamazepine, haloperidol or phenytoin on cognitive functions and psychomotor performance in healthy people. However, it is not recommended to drink alcohol while using sertraline." "Toxicity Available data indicate that sertraline has a wide margin of safety after overdose. There are reports of taking up to 13.5 g of sertraline alone. Fatal cases associated with sertraline overdose occurred mainly when other medicines and/or alcohol were taken concomitantly. In the event of an overdose, intensive treatment is therefore recommended." "Available data indicate that sertraline has a wide margin of safety after overdose.

pharmacist always on the simplest line of resistance... asertin has no interreaction with alco... I take a long time and my dog said that once in a while a few beers will not hurt.. kolo

Moja odpowiedź jest w zupełności szczera - podczas terapii lekiem Asertin nie należy spożywać alkoholu pod żadną postacią, nawet czasem 2-3 piw.
Myślę, że poradzi sobie Pan, aby na czas leczenia mieć z życia coś innego niż te kilka piw - niech to będzie mobilizacją do walki z chorobą ;)
