Is It Safe To Have One Drink During A Chest Cough?
I am taking hydromet syrup for chest cough. I have a wedding to attend, and would like to have one drink in celebration. How long does it take for the syrup to get out of my system so that having a drink won't make me sick? I took my last does before bed last night around 9:00 p.m.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Better to avoid drinking alcohol while you are sick or on treatment.
Alcohol causes immunosuppression and so chances of infection is high.
It also interacts with drugs and so therapeutic effects can be decreased.
Hydromet syrup will stay in the body for 16-18 hours.
So better to avoid alcohol in your case.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
