Is It Safe To Drink Alcohol While On Medication For Piles?
hi. i am currently halfway through a presciption of tablets and creams to help with piles. i have a birthday celebration tonight would it be ok to drink alcohol? i am currently eating a high fibre diet and also drinking lots of water to help. any advice would be a great help thanks
Hi. Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific. Noted the history and understood your concerns. Since you are taking medications for piles means you have piles and taking alcohol in such a condition can cause negative effects as alcohol is known to cause edema of the ailing parts and can have interaction with medications. Your mentioning the names of medications would have helped me a lot. Any ways it is best to avoid alcohol, oily and spicy foods. Continue high fiber diet and the medications you are taking. Birthdays come every year but the treatment and cure is needed once only. So no alcohol.
