Hydromorphone interaction with alcohol?

Question

I had an 11oz beer at dinner an hour ago, one bagel following that and 8 oz of water. I completely forgot I had to take my pain medication. Is it safe (after an hour and the food/water consumption) to take my dosage?

Answer 1

What do you think? Ask your doctors advice. I know it's not good to mix alcohol and pain killers but I wouldn't have a problem taking my pain medication if I only had a small amount of beer and I had a good meal with it. It all depends on how much you drink,how much food you ate and the dosage you are prescribed. Everyone is different and will react differently to medications. I would never mix a medication and any amount of alcohol if I was driving though.

Answer 2

I'm sure it's okay.
