What you will not find in the home medicine cabinet of a modern inhabitant of a metropolis! Especially popular are antihistamines, that is, drugs that help get rid of allergic manifestations. Allergic reactions occur unexpectedly and are quite hard to tolerate, which is why an antihistamine should be in every home. Quite often an antiallergic medicine has to be taken for months, and how at the same time to be with friends sitting around a glass of beer? Is it possible to combine Tavegil with alcohol and drink them at the same time?
Tavegil and alcohol
A classic antihistamine drug, still very popular among patients, is Tavegil.
The drug is based on a drug like klemastin, which blocks the histamine receptors in the body, thus providing anti-edematous, antipruritic and anti-exsudative action. In other words, taking Tavegil with any manifestation of an allergic inflammation - swelling in the nose, the appearance of hives, sneezing and coughing of an allergic nature, itchy rashes, anaphylactic shock - we can be sure that all unpleasant symptoms will be eliminated.
You can use Tavegil, regardless of food intake, it is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and reaches a maximum concentration in the body for about three hours after ingestion.
One of the unpleasant effects of taking Tavegil is increased dryness in the mouth, there may be headaches and abdominal pain. Do not use this tool and with bronchitis, it is fraught with a thickening of phlegm, which makes it likely that the development of pneumonia.
As for interaction with other substances and alcohol, Tavegil has the property to enhance the effect of other drugs. Therefore, do not use an antihistamine in combination with, for example, drugs acting on the central nervous system. They are incompatible, moreover it threatens with unforeseen reactions, up to loss of coordination and oppression of consciousness due to an overdose of antipsychotics.
Compatibility and possible consequences
Tavegil is one of the first generation antihistamines. The interaction of alcohol with such drugs has long been studied and is not recommended because of the increased risk of alcohol delirium and potential stopping of breathing.
The potentiating effect of the drug on alcohol can cause so much intoxication that instead of the expected relaxation and easy euphoria, a person will lose consciousness and will get a serious trauma.

The general toxic effect of alcohol breakdown products can exacerbate an already existing allergic reaction, which is why Tavegil is accepted. In addition, increasing the sedative effect of Tavegil against the background of alcohol intake will definitely lead to a deep sleep instead of the expected fun.
Rules for taking
Tavegil's action lasts almost all day, so doctors recommend not to drink alcohol immediately after taking an antihistamine drug, and delay drinking at least 8 hours so that the drug has time to be metabolized in the liver.
Conclusions

During the treatment of allergies, in principle, it is not necessary to expose the body to increased stress in the form of alcohol intoxication, and all the more so do not risk exposing yourself to serious complications in addition to the existing disease.
