Will Drinking Alcohol After A Spinal Injection Affect The Effectiveness ?
Question: will drinking alcohol after a spinal injection affect the effectiveness
Brief Answer:
Please provide some more information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It depends on what medication was on the injection. Mostly there is a lot of medicines in the injection (we call if coctail of medicines) and if you know the names I can check for you if alcohol affects the effectiveness or not.
Let me know also some information for what do you take the injection and how often. This information helps me determine how long the medication is active in your body so in case the alcohol effects the effectiveness then I can understand when can you safely start consuming alcohol.
Looking forward to your follow up question.
Kind regards,
