To help the stomach after a plentiful meal, people often take Mezim. However, each feast is accompanied not only by harmful food, but also by alcohol. In this regard, many people are interested: is it possible to drink alcohol while treating Mezim, and to what consequences will this combination lead?
Mezim and alcohol
Mezim Forte is a preparation based on pancreatin and other important digestive enzymes: lipase, trypsin, amylase, chymotrypsin. These substances are involved in metabolic processes, during which the cleavage of proteins to amino acids, lipids - to glycerol, starch - to monosaccharides and dextrins.
Due to its composition, the agent normalizes the work of the digestive tract and is used for:
- diarrhea;
- bloating;
- intestinal infections;
- discomfort in the stomach after eating;
- rehabilitation after resection of the stomach and intestines;
- preparation of the gastrointestinal tract for ultrasound and x-rays.
The effect of Mezima comes only half an hour after taking the pill, which is considered an excellent indicator. In addition to normalizing the work of the digestive tract, the drug also stimulates the functions of the pancreas and has a moderately pronounced analgesic effect.
Mezima's special feature is that these tablets are covered with a special coating, which does not burn gastric juice. As a result, the active substance penetrates into the small intestine and only after that begins to act.
The drug is released from pharmacies freely, a prescription from a doctor is not required. However, before using it, it is still recommended to consult a doctor.

Interaction
Taking Mezim for the normalization of digestion, during a feast a person finds it difficult to give up alcohol, which everyone drinks. In the official instruction to Mezim there is no data on the compatibility of the drug with alcohol. However, in reality the permissibility of such a combination directly depends on the amount of alcohol consumed.
Mezima's action comes half an hour after taking the pill. Enzymes in the composition of the drug begin to act very quickly, splitting all the substances that penetrated the stomach. The process is not selective, therefore Mezim influences both food products and hot drinks.

Thus, under the action of the drug, ethanol begins to split much faster. After 30-40 minutes a person feels light in the stomach and starts to sober up at the same time.
With a moderate amount of alcohol consumed Mezim even has a positive effect. The drug helps the body to quickly break down ethanol, which has a destructive effect on the liver, kidneys, brain and all other internal organs and systems. In this case, we can talk about the relative compatibility of Mezim with alcohol.
From a practical point of view, taking Mezima after alcohol is meaningless, doctors explain. The drug is used to improve the functioning of the stomach and intestines, and alcohol - on the contrary, violates its functions. If you drink a little alcohol along with Mezim, the harm from such a combination will be minimal, but the therapeutic effect of the drug will decrease.
Possible consequences of
The combination of alcohol and Mezima can also cause and negative effects on the body, among them:
- a significant excess of the allowable dose of alcohol;
- double liver load;
- decrease in the effect of the drug;
- impaired functionality of the stomach and intestines.
The main problem is that, drinking alcohol, a person expects to reach a state of intoxication. Enzymes in the composition of Mezim interfere with this, causing accelerated sobering.
As a result, a person feels dissatisfaction, because the surrounding people are already under the influence of hops. He runs the risk of exceeding the allowable dose of alcohol. This threatens with serious consequences.
Alcohol and enzymes, which are contained in Mezim, heavily burden the body. As a result, the concentration of ethanol in the blood begins to increase significantly.
First of all, the liver suffers, which should process both harmful substances from food, and ethyl alcohol. Double loading can lead to deterioration of functionality and rapid wear of the body.
If the dose of alcohol becomes too high, even the additional enzymes contained in Mezim will not be enough for its processing. As a result, not only the liver will suffer, but also the digestive system. Lightness in the stomach, which a person expects to feel after using the drug, can be replaced by a deterioration in well-being.
Conclusions
Ideally Mezim and alcohol should not be mixed. If a person needs to take this drug, he already suffers from gastrointestinal dysfunction. Alcohol with such problems should be completely excluded from the diet.
However, on holidays, when everyone at the table drinks alcohol, it is difficult to give up this pleasure.
In this case, a person should follow several helpful recommendations:
- take Mezima pill before a feast;
- in half an hour you can drink no more than 1 glass of strong alcohol;
- good snack, but do not overeat.
Numerous studies confirm that in diseases of the stomach and intestines it is better to use a little high-quality strong alcohol. Beer and wine will cause an exacerbation of any problems with the digestive tract. A glass of good cognac or vodka minimizes the negative consequences, although it is possible to completely eliminate risks only as a result of a complete refusal of alcohol.
