Is it dangerous when taking 500mg of metoforin mornings and drinking 12oz can of beer at night before bedtim?

I searched online for metoforin and found literally 3 hits. None of them told me what the drug actually is, so I can't tell you, but GENERALLY, you shouldn't be mixing most drugs with alcohol. It's just much safer to avoid that if you can. Alcohol can have very serious interactions.

Sleep is an important function of the body.  Do not use meth, i have seen many who have and now visit my ER with psych problems. The b vitamins are good to help u maintain alertness, B 12 is often deficient in people who are chronically tired.  Be cautious of caffeine and effedra and many other stimulates, they can cause anxiety, hart burn, high blood pressure and a rapid hart rate.

There is very little risk of overdosing on this product.  The only B-vitamins with any serious potential for toxicity are niacin and B6.  \n\nIn very high doses used for controlling cholesterol levels, and taken for very long periods of time, there is a risk of liver toxicity with niacin (but not niacinamide).\n\nAgain, in very high doses (300 mg/day for months to years) of B6 for a few people has apparently caused a reversible peripheral neuropathy.\n\nThe doses in this product would be safe at much higher levels than you are taking.  If you feel your panic attacks are helped by these nutrients you can safely take more to see if you improve further.\n\nIt is important to recognize that B-vitamins function as cofactors for many enzymes.  Sometimes these enzymes are genetically 'defective' and require much, much higher levels of the associated B-vitamin cofactor to properly activate the enzyme.  There are over 50 known genetic diseases that are treated with extremely high doses of the proper B-vitamin to activate the defective enzyme.  It is unknown how many people have an 'intermediate' level of function of an enzyme that may also respond to high doses of the vitamin cofactor, but it is likely that such situations are common.  For example, an important enzyme known as MTHFR (methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase) requires B2 as its cofactor. 10 -20% of the population has a genetic 'variant' of this enzyme that requires much higher doses of B2 for proper activity of the enzyme.  This particular issue plays an important role in the risk for many chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.\n\nI realize I have kind of run on a bit here.  But you asked a very important question and sadly, many health professionals (i.e. medical doctors) do not know this basic biochemistry and therefore believe the false concept that 'high doses of b-vitamins just make expensive urine'.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S.  Given your problem with panic attacks, you may also want to try taking some fish oil  supplements.  These provide important omega-3 fatty acids that are critical for the healthy functioning of your cell's membranes and also play a vital role in reducing inflammation.\nA good (not Centrum, One-D-Day or other 'Junk' supplements) multi-vitamin/mineral supplement may also be appropriate for you.

Short answer, no. I think you are trying to remove part of a compound in your kitchen. It won't work and I wouldn't risk my health trying it. And I have a chemistry background. Best solution: if you are concerned about liver toxicity, ask your Dr. to prescribe something without the acetominophen included or to go over the following drug toxicity info with you: \n\nParacetamol/acetominophen: (same drug, different name)\n\nRisk factors for toxicity\n\nThe toxic dose of paracetamol is highly variable. In adults, single doses above 10 grams or 140 mg/kg have a reasonable likelihood of causing toxicity. In adults, single doses of more than 25 grams have a high risk of lethality. Toxicity can also occur when multiple smaller doses within 24 hours exceeds these levels, or even with chronic ingestion of smaller doses. However, unintentional paracetamol overdose in children rarely causes illness or death. This may be due in part to the immature cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system in children. Excessive consumption of alcohol can impair liver function and increase the potential toxicity of paracetamol. For this reason, other analgesics such as aspirin or ibuprofen are recommended for hangovers.\n\nSome individuals are more susceptible to hepatotoxicity, with toxic doses as low as 4 g/day, and death with as little as 6 g/day. Fasting is a risk factor, possibly because of depletion of hepatic glutathione reserves. It is well documented that concomitant use of the CYP2E1 inducer isoniazid increases the risk of hepatotoxicity, though whether CYP2E1 induction is related to the hepatotoxicity in this case is unclear (Crippin, 1993; Nolan et al., 1994). Chronic alcoholism, which also induces CYP2E1, is also well known to increase the risk of paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity (Zimmerman & Maddrey, 1995). Concomitant use of other drugs which induce CYP enzymes such as antiepileptics (including carbamazepine, phenytoin, barbiturates, etc) have also been reported as risk factors.\n\n\nYou're probably worried about nothing, though. the dose is likely way under the threshold.

Antibuse is not a candy for playing, if you are using it is because you really want to stop drinking, if the person doesn´t have any control at all, then should go to a main desintoxication first cause depending of the amount and type of alcohol can even convulsionate and die in a couple of minutes...is not the smae beer than whiskey and it depens on the amount of antibuse as well... simply, as an adult the person needs to know what he-she wants to do and not playing around and giving head each to people around... maybe is more a desire to call the attention than anything else

NO NO NO  - not at bed time! \n\nUniretic is a for high blood pressure. it is a Combination drug with Ace I and HCTZ. Hctz is a diuretics. Diuretics work by getting rid of extra fluid in your body by increasing your urine output, and thus decrease your blood pressure.  and nobody would want to take a diuretics at night b/c it makes you go to the bathroom!!  \n\nif you want to take both together at the same time for Convenience. yes, it is ok, take both of them in the MORNING! don't take the uniretic at night!

don't drink so much before going to bed

Just don't drink heavily. If you limit yourself to three 12 oz. beers or less you should be fine.

The realistic answer is it probably won't bother you at all. Even if you were to take your effexor you would still be able to have a few beers. Yes, alcohol does amplify the effects of medications like ativan but one isn't going to kill you (as long as you don't binge drink).\nThe party line answer (what pharmacists and doctors are supposed to tell you) is that you shouldn't mix benzos (ativan) and alcohol for risk of serious side effects.\n\n--- have fun, but be careful ---

is that one of the warnings on the package?? i wouldn't drink alcohol while on any medications that warn not to.

are you asking this because you are thinking of overdosing or because you seriously dont want to take too many?\nthere should be advise on the back.. tell you how much is reccomended.\ntylenol is very bad for you though. i wouldnt take more than 2 every other day.

It's never ever ever a good idea to mix drinks or drugs or both together... it just intensivies the effects. Because alcohol can make you sleepy and woozy and drowzy, and so can sleeping pills, the effect will be waaaaay too much for your body to handle and you might go into shock... that happened to one of my school mates and she had to get her stomach pumped :( not a pleasant story.

Sounds like you should find something else to drink...seriously.  Any reaction could get worse.

Yes, you can drink/mix alcohol with antibiotics.  The only thing unadviseable is that you cannot mix the medication with milk or any type of antacid (ex. Tums, Rolaids, etc.).  These can all counteract the effects of the medication.  But alcohol will not.  It's just a practical and typical rule for all pharmacists to deter drinking while taking medications.  Especially if this is the first time you've ever had this one before.  Certain antibiotics, and I believe it is the Tetracycline, recommend for you to stay out of direct sunlight.  So, I would worry more about the sun than a glass of wine with dinner.  It won't hurt you.

youre technically not suppose to with ibuprofen because it can cause liver damage, but it probably wouldnt be a big deal if you space the drug and alcohol a few hours apart and dont go nuts with either. im not sure about paracetemol off the top of my head, you should ask a pharmacist questions like this in the future though instead of people on yahoo message boards that dont know what theyre talking about. your pharmacy's number is probably on the bottle if you wanna give them a call.

I would say a couple of drinks while taking cymbalta to be like a glass of wine at a wedding or a beer at happy hour - not one every nite or mutliple every day.  In that case it is OK in moderation.  Do be warned that alcohol may and / or will intesifiy the actions of the drug itself.  If you are worried about it, chat up your dr or have some liver enzymes run.

Accutane gives your liver a pretty good workout, so you don't want to make it work harder by throwing in alot of alcohol on top of it. A beer every now and then will hardly kill you, but be warned- when I was on Accutane I had a problem with dryness and felt thirsty ALL OF THE TIME! Drinking just made it worse- I had the worst case of cottonmouth of all time! So, be careful!
