Is There Interaction Between Steroid Injection And Alcohol?

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Jun 2016
Question: I had my first epidural steroid injection 24 hours ago and am feeling great. Of course I am resting but I've not needed any pain meds since. Is it ok to have a glass or two of wine this evening or will that negatively impact the results?

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can have a lass or two of wine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Yes, you may have a glass or two of wine. It wont affect the impact in any way. Steroid stays in the area where it was injected. So alcohol does not react with it.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
