Can I drink alcohol after 4 days after the hip blockade?

Blockade of the hip joint consists in the administration by intraarticular injection of a complex preparation containing a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory agent (most often a steroid). Usually, the administration of the drug itself is not a contraindication to alcohol consumption. However, alcohol increases the risk of m.in joint damage and should not be consumed. In addition, one of the possible systemic side effects of steroid drugs is the occurrence of, for example, gastrointestinal bleeding, which can also be aggravated by alcohol consumption. Due to the fact that the effect of the drug administered intra-articularly persists even for several weeks, I encourage you to be careful when consuming alcohol.
