Hi there. Can I take my pill even though I am drunk?
Answer
Hi there
Yes.
The alcohol does not interact with your meds.
If you are drunk, it is important to still remember to take your meds.
The big issue with alcohol is that it often means people forget their meds. This can lead to big problems in the long run, including your treatment failing.
If you are often drunk though, it is not good for other aspects of your health. In this case perhaps talk to your doctor who can help.
PS – I do believe that you might be drunk as you sent this question six times :)
Hi Blaise, you can go to the toilet whenever you want to. HIV meds don’t affect this.
I went to the toilet 35 minutes after taking my ARV… Is this okay?
thanks Mike :)
I love your answer.
In beginning I was worried of ART and Alcohol mix.
