> No drinking alcohol, like metformin?
I take Metformin (not for diabetes, but weight and age) and my doc has never said a word about alcohol. A quick google suggests the possible bad interactions are diabetes related, so probably not applicable.
- yamtaddle 4y agoOh, interesting. I guess the cases I know of its use are diabetes related, now that I think about it, but I'd seen "I take metformin, so no alcohol" enough times I thought it was a drug interaction.
- alexfoo 4y agoAre you thinking of metronidazole? It’s listed as an example of a drug that has the “disulfiram effect” when mixed with alcohol. See the “Similarly acting substances” section of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfiram https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfiram
