Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would like to advise that you should avoid alcohol with the medicine Venlor XR prescribed by your doctor.
Velnafaxine present in Venlor XR can increase the impairment of mental and motor skills induced by alcohol intake.
Other side effects include headache, insomnia, nausea, dizziness, poor ejaculation, etc.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
