The author suffered from acute tonsillitis and wisdom tooth inflammation these days. He was groggy for several days after taking injections and swallowing tablets. He refused the appointment of several drinking friends and saw this reader come to ask before leaving work. He hurriedly gave everyone a popular science.
What the circle of friends said this time is true.
What if I went to the party, how?
Maybe I’m dead.
As the news in the circle of friends said, I may have these symptoms due to the reaction between the medicine I take and the wine I drink: I can’t see clearly, my face is very red, my chest tightness, headache, and even I die.
If it is an older person who has hypertension, heart disease or alcohol allergy, the symptoms may be more severe.
Medically, this reaction is called [disulfiram-like reaction] or [abstinence sulfur-like reaction], which occurs about 15 minutes to 1 hour after drinking.
Which drugs react with alcohol?
Mainly cephalosporins and metronidazole, whether orally or by injection.
Specifically, it includes the following common drugs:
1. Cephalosporin drugs: including cefoperazone, Pioneer V (cefazolin), Pioneer VI (cefradine), Pioneer IV (cefalexin), cefaclor, etc.
Although not all cephalosporins have this problem, the average person may not remember so many drugs, it doesn’t matter, just remember the word [cephalosporins].
2. Other drugs: metronidazole, tinidazole, ornidazole, chloramphenicol, ketoconazole, sulfonamides, sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs such as chlorsulfonylurea, phenformin, warfarin, insulin, etc.
Is it only cocktail parties that react to these drugs?
No.
There are also the following situations:
1. All kinds of alcoholic beverages, including white wine, red wine, yellow wine, beer, cocktails, etc.;
2. Some foods, such as wine heart chocolate, cheese, beef, sausage, broad beans, pineapples, bananas, fermented bean curd, animal liver, fermented food, tea, coffee food, chocolate, pickled products, preserved eggs, fish, clam shells, etc.;
3. Some drugs containing alcohol, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Brown Mixture.
Not only the above food, but also alcohol bath and tincture can cause this problem.
If you are taking medicine these days, stop drinking, watch and eat, and think about these things after stopping the medicine for 7 days.
What if this problem occurs?
It is suggested to go to the nearest hospital or call 120.
When you arrive at the hospital, you must take the initiative to tell the doctor what medicine you have taken before, how much wine you have drunk or the above food, and it is best to bring the medicine you have taken recently. Because only by symptoms, it may be confused with alcoholism, food allergy, acute myocardial infarction and other problems.
