Is it ok to have a couple of drink when you are taking a medication to help get over a virus? I have heard both sides that you can and you can't so what really is the answer because I need to know!!!

I'd go by what your Dr told you. I've had friends drink when they were on meds and they had bad effects and got very ill.

Well as sypress has said it is best to talk with your doctor. Or if you were given a print out of the medication you are on, it will have a section re cautions. Alcohol and meds do not mix well. Again talk to your Doctor.
