Is Alcohol Consumption Advisable In A Heart Patient?

Hello Doctor, I am 58 years old and was very fit physically but recently I was diagnosed with 95 % blockage in my LAD and had to undergo Angio Plasty. It is single vessel disease. After Angio Plasty I was discharged but I am on medication like Brilinta 90 mg 2 times a day, Metolar XR 12. 50 mg once daily, Rozavel 20 mg once a day and Ecosporin 75 mg once daily. My all other reports are normal and my question is can I be permitted to take one to two drinks of Alcohol when I am on these drugs?. Other than this one block all my parameters are absolutely normal please advice me

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I carefully passed through your question and would explain that it is safe to take one drink of alcohol while taking these drugs.

There are no interactions between alcohol and your current therapy.

So, there is nothing to worry about!

But, I would not recommend taking more than one drink daily, because it can increase your cardio-vascular risk.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
