Can you drink alcohol whilst taking carbimazole ?

I know this drug can affect your liver and I dint get out much since hsving my baby and was going to have a couple of glassss of red with my hubby out for our anniversary meal? X

I certainly had no problems with alcohol and carbimazole, there were no concerns with my liver. What I will say though is that your alcohol tollerance changes, I can feel the effects an awful lot quicker these days (and can't blame age as I'm only 29!). A couple of regular glasses with food won't hurt though.

Hi

I sometimes can and at other times it makes me feel sick after one glass of wine. I don't seem to have any problems now that my bloods are back to what is termed normal levels.

Have one and see how you feel. I have been known to share a bottle of wine with a friend with no affects.

Just go out enjoy yourself and play it by ear

Have a god time

It made me feel very drunk and very sick the morning after. It is a common complaint for people on carbimazole to find alcohol makes them feel worse. Plus if you want to feel better then a healthy diet and very gentle exercise and less stress is crucial. In my opinion booze will not help you to feel better. Your choice though.

Since being on Carbimazole I didn't feel like drinking, but the occasional glass or two of wine didn't cause me any problems. Go out and enjoy your anniversary evening with your husband and see how you feel on the night.

I am sure you deserve a treat on such a special day. Have fun.

Thanks for the replies. I do follow a healthy diet. I had some wine and felt fine
