  • Hello Tony and thanks for your post

    It is usually fine to drink small amounts of alcohol, but alcohol can interfere with the way some drugs work. Probably the best thing to do is to discuss this further with your doctor, as they will be able to give you specific advice about whether drinking alcohol is safe with any medication you may be taking.

    The current government guidelines on alcohol consumption can be found here.

    I hope this is of use.Please do get back to us if you have any more questions or call us on 0808 800 4040. We are here from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

    Kind Regards,
    Celene
