Is it safe to drink alcohol whilst on Lansoprazole tablets?!

Yes it's fine!. I've been on Lanzoprazole and Omeprazole for years, and never, ever had any problems with the occasional glass of wine!. Both are proton pump inhibitors - they just limit the amount of acid your stomach produces!. They do not effect alcohol metabolism, in other words, will not make you feel more, or less, drunk or ill !.

All drugs come with a health warning - even paracetamol and ulcer cream!. They have to cover their butt's!.!.!.but if you don't feel comfortable with it, don't do it! Whatever happens!.!.it wont kill you :)

I would say do not drink any alcohol while taking a medicine of that sort!. Consuming alcohol while taking any kind of anxiety or pain medicine will greatly increase the intensity of the alcohol, even a few drinks could be harmful because of how much they end up being intensified!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cider - no!. It really triggers my indigestion off and i'm on lanzoprazole, because it contains citric acid!. Oddly enough i'm ok on the spirits!.
Try beer if you're on the piss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
