Brief Answer:
Increased drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM. I would advise your husband that the interaction with alcohol would cause the medication to linger longer in the body as its metabolism and breakdown and washout may be hindered by the alcohol. I would thus be very careful about operating machinery. I hope this helps, thanks and good luck.
