I was wondering how long should I wait before consuming alcohol after I have taken a prescription medicine?
Earlier today (around 11am atlantic time) I had to take Robax Platinum because of some pain and stiffness I was getting in my jaw.

I was wondering how long it would be before I should be able to consume alcohol without any risks of it interfering with the medication.
Big Thanks To Jamaal10! |

Even if I wait long enough for the medication to wear off first? the directions on the package say take one every 4-6 hours. So If I wait until 10 hours has passed will it do anything?
Just out of curiousity. How long do you have to wait after consuming alcohol do you have to wait to start taking medication
Big Thanks To Jamaal10!

Once again Ireland, Thanks for the heads up.
The thing is, I am not in the middle taking these pills. I have finished what the doctor recommended and was just wondering how long it would take before I could consume it. Now that I am informed I know better. Good looking out, Ireland.
Big Thanks To Jamaal10!

Pain Killers like already make you seem "High"..I take a painkiller Oxycodone(Not Oxycontin). I really don't think you should drink alcohol with it.
http://www.drugs.com/oxycodone.html
Quote:
Avoid alcohol while taking oxycodone. Alcohol will greatly increase the drowsiness and dizziness caused by oxycodone and could be dangerous.
Also the Oxycodone makes me Really sick to my stomach when it wears off so i take prevacid when i take it, so I would definentley wait atleast a day to let it wear off before you comsume alcohol.
I also remeber my doc saying that painkillers are heavy on the kidneys and liver, so consuming alcohol while taking the drug will hurt your kidneys and liver.

Aren't you a little young for alcohol? I just checked your profile and it says you were born in 1991.

That's not your problem? You're 15 too; never drunk alcohol?

It usually says that kinda stuff in the rly little print that no one can be arsed to read or even see ;-)

Yes, it was @ you, cos I doubt andersg needs a lecture about alcohol, regardless of whether it is for him or not.
Anyway, I wasn't trying to go anywhere with this tocool, so I'm out.

@tocool4u ... I take both oxycontin and oxycodone; actually, they're the same thing but with a different delivery method. Oxycontin is a long term, 12 hour release while Oxycodone (otherwise known as percocet) has a 4 hour rapid release. Feeling like you have indegestion or stomach pains is common when it starts wearing off ... it doesn't happen to me but I've been told it helps to eat a couple of hours after taking it or about an hour before it starts to wear off.

Not in Canada, and in one(or both) of the carolinas they have bars where they can sell beer to people who are 18 but ONLY beer. Well at least they did dont know if it changed......
Edit: Yea checked his profile he lives in Canada, Now that i think back, When I searched google for that Pain killer I saw it only available in Canada....

there was a time when it was 18 all over the US...then kids seemed to get even stupider and the age was made 21. the laws says 21 for a good reason; i find it bothersome that people get so out of control with their drinking, especially minors.
polyarny and i really need to get our licenses...and for that matter, open season established....on people :-)

You can drink beer/lager/cider with a meal when you're 16 in the UK. And the overall drinking age here in the UK is 18 too :)
