Brief Answer:
Drug interaction with wine

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Wine interacts with Nortriptylline and it could make you more sleepy than usual after consuming it. I allow my patients to drink in moderation but strongly warn them that they should not engage in driving or to be around sharp instruments.

There are no known interaction between wine and other drugs.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
