[Split From] Stelara round two

Alcohol consumption can have a significant impact on your digestive track.  It's not advisable to wash down any medication with a pint o' Guinness that requires the stomach to digest.  It's irrelevant if there is any real reaction between the drug and alcohol,  it's simply NOT worth the potential lawsuit.

On the other hand, biologics are injected to avoid breakdown by the stomach,  so there is the potential to tip a few cold ones, but I'd wouldn't recommend it. Many people who take biologics complain about dehydration. I don't think alcohol is the best choice here. I'd also not recommended anything with caffeine in it on the day of injection to. This is just my opinion, and I think the best choice for taking meds is H2O, unless doctor advises otherwise.

On a side note,  a do miss drinking beer over there.  The beer taste sooo much better over in Ireland. I'd think I'd become an alcoholic if i lived there.

I have to agree with you reluctantly and say you are totally right H2O is the right thing to wash drugs down.... But Mataribot I enjoy a drink with my dinner and it has not affected the efficacy of the drug for me ,
If it stopped working .. I may well consider giving up alcohol... Perhaps and I'm not prepared to test the theory that I may be able to reduce my dose if I stopped drinking ( here I should point out that I am not alcoholic but enjoy a drink with my evening meal some days I drink nothing but water)
Thanks for your words of wisdom though, it's a very good point
